Jasprit Bumrah’s way of Proposal to Sanjana Ganesan During IPL Will Melt Your Heart!

How Jasprit Bumrah Proposed to Sanjana Ganesan in the IPL 2020 Bubble

Jasprit Bumrah, India’s premier fast bowler, is known for delivering perfect yorkers, but in 2020, he bowled over his now-wife Sanjana Ganesan with a heartwarming beachside proposal. During their recent appearance on the show Who’s The Boss?, hosted by Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra, the couple opened up about their private engagement moment amid the strict COVID-19 IPL bio-bubble.

Proposal Inside a Bio-Bubble: Planned with Precision

Bumrah revealed that he had carried an engagement ring with him during the IPL 2020 season in the UAE, despite the intense restrictions on player movement. While he represented Mumbai Indians, Sanjana was part of the broadcasting crew for Kolkata Knight Riders. Fortunately, both teams were based in Abu Dhabi, allowing a rare chance for interaction.

As player and presenter were confined to strict bio-bubbles, Bumrah had to make special arrangements. He shared, “I carried the ring in hope that perhaps after the tournament ends I’ll get a chance.” After informing his team of the plan, he requested a bubble-to-bubble transfer for Sanjana—something rarely allowed during that period.

A Romantic Balcony, Candles, and a Towel!

Jasprit Bumrah, ever the planner, decorated his hotel room himself. He arranged candles on the balcony facing the beach and even set up a cake to mark the occasion. But nature had other plans.

“I had lit candles and it overlooked the beach, so the wind kept blowing them out. I struggled so much,” Bumrah admitted with a laugh.

Sanjana, walking into the room, was confused when Jasprit Bumrah urgently asked her to come to the balcony.

“I’ve just walked in, at least give me water!” she recalled. But the fast bowler was in a hurry—he wanted her to see the candles and the stunning view before they were ruined.

To top it all off, in his bid to hide decorations, Jasprit Bumrah even used a towel as a makeshift curtain. A hilarious, humble touch to a very emotional moment.

Marriage, Parenthood, and Continued Stardom

After this memorable proposal, the couple tied the knot in March 2021. Their relationship has since grown stronger, with the arrival of their baby boy Angad in September 2023. While Bumrah continues to shine in international cricket, Sanjana Ganesan remains a respected name in sports media, admired for her grace, poise, and professionalism.

Their proposal story stands as a rare reminder that even amidst global chaos, love finds a way.
