Getty ImagesJasprit Bumrah, nominated as the 'Player of the Tournament' in the 2024 T20 World Cup, garnered widespread acclaim from fans and an especially heartfelt tribute from his wife, broadcaster Sanjana Ganesan. Following India's historic victory over South Africa in the final match held in Barbados, Sanjana took to Instagram to laud Team India and, notably, her husband Bumrah.
In her post, Sanjana expressed her overwhelming emotions about the victory and the exceptional performance of the team. She emphasized the surreal nature of the win and praised the team for their outstanding effort and determination, calling for well-deserved loud and passionate applause for becoming world champions.
Throughout the tournament, Bumrah showcased his exceptional skills, taking 15 wickets in eight games with an impressive average of 8.26 and an economy rate of 4.17. His best bowling figures were 3/7, making him the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
Her message then shifted focus to Bumrah, whom she described as a symbol of resilience, hard work, and brilliance. She highlighted the significant efforts and daily struggles Bumrah endured to achieve excellence, describing his journey as inspirational. She expressed how fortunate she and their son Angad were to have him in their lives and congratulated him on this milestone, hinting that this achievement was just the beginning of greater things to come.
Sanjana, who covered the entire tournament as a media broadcaster, also reflected on the personal significance of the event. She cherished the memory from multiple perspectives: as an Indian, a wife, a broadcaster, and a mother, vowing to hold the experience close to her heart for a very long time.
After the win, a touching moment was captured when Bumrah draped the winner's medal around his son Angad's neck. Adorned with the national flag, Bumrah proudly carried his son around, celebrating and playing with him, adding a deeply personal dimension to the public celebration.
In the post-match presentation, Bumrah shared his emotional state, admitting that he usually tries to keep his emotions in check but found it challenging this time due to the overwhelming nature of the victory. He recalled the team's struggle during the match and the elation of triumphing despite the odds. Bumrah expressed gratitude for having his family present, especially after coming so close in previous tournaments, and described the joy of leading his team to victory.
Discussing his approach to the game, Bumrah mentioned his strategy of focusing on one ball and one over at a time, avoiding getting too far ahead in his thoughts. He acknowledged the difficulty in keeping emotions in check during such a high-stakes game but noted that once the match was over, he could finally let those emotions out.
