Indian cricket team pacer Jasprit Bumrah and his wife Sanjana Ganesan recently welcomed a baby boy into their family. Bumrah took a break from his professional commitments during the Asia Cup 2023 to be with his wife for this special occasion. He shared the joyful news on Instagram, stating, "Our little family has grown & our hearts are fuller than we could ever imagine! This morning we welcomed our little boy, Angad Jasprit Bumrah into the world."
Bumrah's Return to International Cricket
After a nearly year-long break due to a back injury, Jasprit Bumrah made a successful return to international cricket. He showcased his skills in a T20I series against Ireland and was subsequently included in the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2023. Although he was part of India's opening match against Pakistan, he didn't get a chance to bowl due to rain interruptions.
Availability for Upcoming Matches
Bumrah decided to skip India's second match against Nepal in the Asia Cup to be with his wife during the birth of their child. However, he is expected to rejoin the team and be available for selection starting from the Super 4 stage of the tournament.
Importance for the Indian Cricket Team
Jasprit Bumrah remains a crucial asset for the Indian cricket team, particularly with the upcoming ODI World Cup in view. The team management is keen to give him ample match practice to prepare for the important championship.
