India bowler Jasprit Bumrah is reportedly all set to marry TV presenter Sanjana Ganesan this month. Social media was full of posts that the two were getting married either on March 14 or 15 in Goa, however neither have confirmed the news yet.
Bumrah opted out of the fourth and final Test against England due to this reason, IANS had reported. The pacer is also unlikely to be part of the T20 series against England in Ahmedabad.
The talk in Ahmedabad during the fourth Test was that he was likely to get married to a sports presenter.
Bumrah, with his mother and sister, were due to travel to Mumbai on way to Goa. Only a select few family members are likely to attend the wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, sources said. The India team members would not be present due to the ongoing series as well as restrictions.
Bumrah was born and brought up in Ahmedabad. He and his sister were raised by their mother after the death of their father. Bumrah's mother was the vice-principal of Nirman Public School where the fast bowler studied and first took up cricket under the coaching of Kishore Trivedi.
