“He’s watching over you everyday” – Jasprit Bumrah’s wife Sanjana Ganesan reacts to her husband's emotional Instagram post for his late father

Jasprit Bumrah's wife, Sanjana Ganesan, reacted to the Indian pacer's emotional post for his late father Jasbir Singh on social media on Tuesday (January 16).

Bumrah expressed his love for his father by sharing his emotions after becoming a father to Angad, who was born on September 4 last year. He dropped a childhood picture of himself in his father’s arms and captioned the Instagram post:

“Your void was always felt in our lives and since i have become a father myself i realised what a father’s emotion is and what i had missed in my life . As we remember you with happy memories i wish you were with us dad.”

In response, Bumrah’s wife Sanjana Ganeshan, a sports broadcaster, wrote in the comments:

“He’s watching over you every day.”

Bumrah lost his father when he was five years old and was raised by his mother Daljit Bumrah, a schoolteacher in Ahmedabad, in a middle-class family.

On the professional front, Bumrah was last seen in action during the two-match Test series in South Africa, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The pace spearhead bagged 12 wickets and was adjudged as the Player of the Series alongside Proteas batter Dean Elgar. He has been rested for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.
