Sanjana Ganesan Shares Adorable Photo After Jasprit Bumrah's Five-Wicket Haul

Sanjana Ganesan, wife of Jasprit Bumrah, shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram, seemingly featuring their son Angad, coinciding with the Indian seamer's impressive five-wicket haul in the first Test against England at Headingley.

Ganesan's Instagram Story showcased a child holding a red cricket ball, accompanied by the words "England," "Jasprit Bumrah," and his bowling figures of "24.4-5-83-5".

Bumrah's Performance at Headingley

Jasprit Bumrah was the standout performer for the Indian bowling attack at Leeds, claiming the wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Josh Tongue, culminating in figures of 5/83. Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the other wicket-takers for India as England posted 465, narrowly missing India's first innings total of 471 by six runs.

Bumrah commented on the bowling conditions, stating, "At this moment pretty good wicket to bat on. It is a little bit two paced, no big demons in wicket. Due to weather, new ball will swing but that is what you expect in Test cricket. We would like to get a big total and get that cushion."

Missed Opportunities in the Field

The Indian seamer could have potentially secured more wickets if the fielding had been sharper and fewer no-balls were bowled. A significant issue was the six dropped catches.

Addressing the dropped catches, he added, "Yeah, just for a second. But you understand that you can't really sit down and cry, isn't it? You have to move forward with the game. So, what I look to do is not to take it too far in my head and try and quickly forget it because all of them are also new to the game. Sometimes the ball is difficult to sight and nobody is dropping the catch purposely. Everybody is trying really hard. It does happen. So, I don't want to create a scene or put more pressure on the fielder that I'm angry, I'm kicking the box or I'm doing something. It's okay. It's part and parcel of the game. Obviously, if it (catches) would have been taken earlier, that's good, but people will learn from this experience."
