Jasprit Bumrah recently shared a funny moment from his debut Test series in South Africa involving his wife, Sanjana Ganesan. On the chat show Who's The Boss? hosted by Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh, Bumrah recalled how he had planned to celebrate his five-wicket haul in Centurion by pointing to Sanjana in the stands. However, after achieving the feat, he couldn’t spot her anywhere, leaving him amused and slightly puzzled in the middle of the field.

The ace India bowler had a memorable debut series, finishing with 14 wickets in six innings at an impressive average of 25.21. While his performances in the first two Tests were steady, it was the third Test at Centurion where he truly made his mark with a five-wicket haul. This performance not only helped cement his place in the team but also marked the beginning of a stellar red-ball career. The story he shared added a humorous touch to an otherwise career-defining series.

"I have a memory from my first Test match [series]. My previous match had not gone well, so I thought no problem, the next match will go well. And she was there, and I took five wickets. When I turned around, humara banda hi nahi khada hai udhar. Chai-samosa kha raha hai. [Our person is not there, eating chai-samosa]. I thought after taking five wickets, I'll also make a little gesture. Maybe wave or something, but our madam was busy eating inside," he added.

This is not true: Sanjana Ganesan

Sanjana Ganesan shared her side of the story, explaining that she had briefly stepped inside to watch the match on the TV screens as she struggles to see the action clearly on the field without her spectacles, which she typically avoids wearing. Light-heartedly dismissing Bumrah's version, she playfully clarified that she wasn’t missing but just trying to get a better view of the game.

"This story is not true. I had gone inside momentarily because I have spectacles, which I usually don't wear. So, I can't see things very clearly on the field. I had gone inside to watch it on the TV screens because there you can see their facial expressions clearly, and you get to see the celebrations. So, I went inside momentarily to just look at the TV screen, and by then he had taken five wickets. He says that he has done something, but I honestly didn't see anything," Sanjana replied.
