In a world where glamour and cricket incessantly converge, Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and sports reporter and Indian journalist Sanjana Ganesan's story shines brighter than a diamond. Their style and personal stories are quintessential of mutual admiration, subtle romance, and coincidence.It was in the 2013-14 season of IPL that Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan first met, when Jasprit was ascending his stairs to success. Sanjana is a popular media face who, as per routine, was interviewing players of the team and had a small conversation with Bumrah. This was the same time when the two didn't interact much, nor were there any visible signs of a spark between them. But as is the case, true love waits. Destiny, since then, has had different plans for them.

A few years later, when there was the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England, they met again, but this time the magic was not lost. Interestingly, in an interview, Sanjana shared that at first, she had thought Bumrah was already dating someone, so that kept her from making any overtures toward him.
In the IPL 2020 held in the UAE, out of everybody's sight, Bumrah proposed in a humble yet true way. His now-famous lines, "Balcony me chalo" (come to the balcony), led to a moment that went on to change the direction of their lives forever.
No drama, no grand gestures; still, Sanjana said, Yes to Bumrah.This lovely couple got married on 15 March 2021 in a private, intimate wedding in Goa, as they merged sikh and South Indian customs together, each respecting the other's heritage. The wedding itself was small, with only near and dear ones who attended the wedding, while the media was kept at bay. Not long after their marriage, their joy tripled with the arrival of their son, Angad Bumrah, on September 4, 2023.

What makes this pair stand out is their down-to-earth attitude and respect for each other. As Bumrah takes over the cricket ground, Sanjana also keeps on sparkling in her own way, as a renowned sports presenter. Their romance is simply flawless, one that's away from the glitz and from the limelight
