Bumrah, who recently returned to competitive cricket after an extended break, has been pivotal for Team India in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. Leading India’s pace attack in the first Test in Indore, Bumrah delivered a standout performance, picking up four wickets in the first innings. His scalps included key players like Shadman Islam, Mushfiqur Rahim, Hasan Mahmud, and Taskin Ahmed, finishing with figures of 4/50 in 11 overs.
His contributions continued into the second innings, where he dismissed Zakir Hasan, helping India secure a commanding 280-run victory over Bangladesh. Ravichandran Ashwin (6/88) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/58) wrapped up the Bangladeshi innings, but Bumrah’s efforts with the new ball played a critical role in dismantling the opposition’s top order.
The win gave India a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series, with the second and final Test set to take place at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27.
Team India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah recently melted hearts by sharing a touching moment with his son, Angad. In an Instagram story, Bumrah revealed how his son mistook a character from a picture book for his father, calling it “dadda.” The post came after Bumrah’s wife, television presenter Sanjana Ganesan, shared a similar story on her own account.

In the post, Ganesan captioned the moment:
“missing @jaspritb1 so much that even the gruffalo starts to look like dadda“
This adorable interaction between father and son, Angad, who was born in September 2023, left Bumrah emotional. The 30-year-old fast bowler, currently occupied with India’s Test series against Bangladesh, reshared the post with a caption that read:
“Just melts my heart“
Team India’s Plans for the 2nd Test
Despite Bumrah’s solid performance, there is speculation about whether the management will opt to rest the star pacer for the second Test, as India prepares for a packed schedule ahead. With the World Cup and other key tournaments on the horizon, the team could rotate their squad to keep players fresh.
However, with Bumrah in peak form and already having a significant impact in the first Test, it’s likely he will continue to lead the pace attack alongside Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav.
Bumrah’s Journey Since Fatherhood
Since becoming a father in September 2023, Bumrah has balanced his professional career with personal responsibilities. His Instagram posts often reflect the joy of fatherhood, and moments like these provide fans a glimpse into his life off the field.
Bumrah and Ganesan tied the knot in March 2021 in a private ceremony, and their journey together has captured the admiration of cricket fans around the world. The couple often shares snippets of their life, and the arrival of their son Angad has only added to the joy.
A Look Ahead: 2nd Test Against Bangladesh
With the second Test just days away, India will be looking to wrap up the series with a dominant performance. The team has retained the same squad, and all eyes will be on Bumrah to see if he continues his stellar run of form. Given the solid combination of spin and pace in the Indian attack, Bangladesh will have to step up their game to avoid a clean sweep.
For now, though, it’s not just cricket fans but also Jasprit Bumrah himself who is cherishing the little moments with his family, even while leading India to victory on the field.
The second Test will begin on Friday, September 27, at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
India will be eager to continue their winning momentum, while fans will be keeping an eye on their beloved pacer both on and off the pitch.
