Sanjana Ganesan, the wife of Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah, shared an endearing picture on Instagram. The image featured their son, Angad, holding the red cricket ball from Bumrah’s recent five-wicket haul at Headingley. The ball was inscribed with “England,” “Jasprit Bumrah,” and Bumrah’s bowling figures: 24.4-5-83-5. Bumrah’s performance saw him take the wickets of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Chris Woakes, and Josh Tongue. The overall Indian bowling attack included Mohammed Siraj (2/122) and Prasidh Krishna (3/128) as England scored 465, just six runs shy of India’s first innings total of 471. Bumrah, commenting on the conditions, noted the pitch was “a little bit two-paced” but didn’t foresee “big demons.” He aimed to get a significant score and build a lead. He also reflected on dealing with setbacks in the game, acknowledging the need to move forward quickly. Numerous dropped catches by India impacted the final outcome.
