In a heartwarming post-match interview following India's thrilling victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024, ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was interviewed by none other than his wife, sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan. The couple’s interaction added a personal touch to the professional setting, providing fans a glimpse into their relationship.
It was a thrilling low-scoring affair at the T20 World Cup, held at Nassau County in New York. The match, which kept fans on the edge of their seats, saw India defending a modest target of 120 runs against their arch-rivals, Pakistan. India's bowlers, led by Bumrah, performed exceptionally well to clinch the victory by six runs. Bumrah's outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Match award for the second time in the tournament.
Bumrah's spell was particularly impressive; he took three crucial wickets for just 14 runs in his three overs, disrupting Pakistan's batting order. His dismissal of Pakistan captain Babar Azam for 13 runs was a pivotal moment in the match.
The Interview
Following the match, Sanjana Ganesan interviewed Bumrah on the field. The interview highlighted both his professional achievements and the personal support system that plays a crucial role in his success.
"It was a good day. The wicket did change after a while because the wicket that we played on last time had a lot more help. But in the morning, it was overcast and then later on the sun opened up and you know the wicket did dry up. So, it did get better to bat on. So, it was slightly better to bat on so the seam and the swing was less but yeah, we are very happy that we were able to pull that off with you know constant pressure, trying to be clear with what we want to do and try to make runs scoring difficult," Bumrah said, reflecting on the match.
The interaction was not devoid of lighter moments. At one point, Bumrah told Sanjana, "See you in 30 minutes," to which she responded, "What's for dinner?" This playful exchange delighted fans, showcasing the couple's camaraderie and adding a personal touch to the post-match analysis.
