Jasprit Bumrah’s wife, Sanjana Ganesan, shared a photo, seemingly of their son Angad, on Instagram on the same day the Indian seamer completed a five-wicket haul during the first Test against England at Headingley. In an Instagram Story, Ganesan posted a picture of a child with the red cricket ball in hands with “England”, “Jasprit Bumrah” and his bowling figures of “24.4-5-83-5” written on it.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.

Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) were the other wicket-takers for India as England posted 465 on the board, coming six runs shy of India’s first innings total of 471.
“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,” said Bumrah on the bowling conditions.The Indian seamer could have had more wickets had the Indian fielding been up to the mark and he not overstepped. The bigger culprit, though, were the six catches that went down.
Sanjana Ganesan’s Instagram Story after Jasprit Bumrah took a fifer at Headingley.
“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,” he added.
