ICC Digital Insider on their fifth wedding anniversary Sanjana Ganesan melted hearts on social media with a loving tribute to her husband, the pioneer of Indian speed jasprit bumrah. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony on March 15, 2021, have since become one of the most adored couples in the world of cricket and Sanjana’s candid post gave fans a rare glimpse into their enduring bond.
‘My favorite story, always and forever’: Sanjana Ganesa’s candid Instagram post
In his fifth marriage, he wrote on Instagram: “Wherever life takes us,
no matter how noisy the world is, there’s always this – you, me and a hug like home. I have been married to my best friend for five years. My favorite story, always and forever. A love story born on the field of cricket.”
Sanjana and Bumrah’s love story has its roots in the game that brought them together. The couple first met during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England, where Sanjana worked as a host and Bumrah starred for India. In the following months, their professional paths crossed many times and their relationship turned into romance.
After nearly two years of dating, the couple surprised fans by announcing their engagement in February 2021. They followed it up with an intimate wedding ceremony on March 15 that year at a resort in Goa, attended only by close family members due to COVID-19 restrictions. The low-key affair was a stark contrast to the lavish cricket weddings the sport often witnesses and reflected the couple’s preference for privacy.
In September 2023, the couple gave birth to their first child, a son Angad. Bumrah, who was recovering from a back injury at the time, took a brief paternity break before returning to international cricket. After becoming parents, both Sanjana and Bumrah have shared occasional glimpses of their family life, carefully balancing public affection with their desire to keep Angad out of the limelight.

The anniversary celebration coincides with the peak of Bumrah’s professional career. Just a week ago, the 32-year-old pacer won a 4/15 match. T20 World Cup 2026 Final Against New Zealand at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, he won the Man of the Match award and cemented his legacy as one of India’s greatest match winners. He also finished as the tournament’s joint-leading wicket-taker with Varun Chakraborty with 14 scalps at an astonishing average of 12.43.
Meanwhile, the past year has been equally eventful for Sanjana. He has established himself as one of the ICC’s most prominent presenters, covering major tournaments worldwide as well as hosting his own cricket podcast. Her professional commitments occasionally overlap with Bumrah’s playing schedule – most notably during the 2025 tour of Australia, when Sanjana delighted fans by conducting interviews with her husband at several venues.
