India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is celebrating a fourth wedding anniversary today. His wife Sanjana Ganesan has shared a heartfelt post on her Instagram account alongside a picture of the couple that’s gone viral.
Bumrah got married on March 15, 2021, during England’s India tour comprising four Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. The fast bowler played in two Tests before asking for time off from the BCCI for his wedding.
The 31-year-old Bumrah is currently awaiting fitness clearance from BCCI’s Center of Excellence (previously known as National Cricket Academy). He hurt his back during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in January and has since been out of action.
As per reports, Bumrah is dealing with a stress injury on his back for which he underwent surgery in 2023. While it’s expected that he will get the go-ahead by the end of this month, it does put a big question mark over his availability for the first few IPL 2025 matches for Mumbai Indians.
MI open their campaign with an away against Chennai Super Kings on March 23 before flying to Ahmedabad to face Gujarat Titans on March 29. They will then host Kolkata Knight Riders on March 31 – their first home game of the season.
Due to the injury, Bumrah missed India’s title-winning campaign at the recent Champions Trophy. This is the second ICC tournament in just over two years that the right-arm pacer has missed because of a back injury.
Bumrah suffered the latest setback during the second day of the fifth and final Test of India’s Australia tour in the first week of January.
As per a report in Cricbuzz, BCCI Sports Science Chief Nitin Patel is monitoring the pacer’s recovery.
Given Bumrah’s unique action that makes him susceptible to injury, the team management has been careful with managing his workload.
Former New Zealand fast bowler and MI bowling coach Shane Bond has even warned that another back injury could end Bumrah’s career.
