IPL 2025: Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan React to Trolls Targeting Their Son Angad
In the IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant bowling helped his team win by 54 runs. Bumrah took four wickets, becoming the highest wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians in IPL history. However, apart from the match, another topic gained attention—Sanjana Ganesan, Bumrah’s wife, and their son Angad, who were targeted by trolls.
Sanjana Ganesan, a sports broadcaster, took to Instagram to criticize social media users who made offensive comments about their young son, Angad, based on his facial expression during the match. The incident happened when Sanjana and Angad were at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to support Bumrah.
“Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment” – Sanjana Ganesan
Sanjana posted on her Instagram story, “Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment. Jasprit and I do everything in our power to keep Angad away from social media because the internet is a vile and nasty place. I fully understand the implications of bringing a child to a cricket stadium with cameras, but please understand that we were there to support Jasprit, nothing else.”
She added, “Throwing words like trauma and depression in reference to a baby says a lot about who we’re becoming as a community, and it’s honestly really sad. You know nothing about our son, nothing about our lives, and I request you to keep your opinions online true to that.”
Support for Bumrah During IPL 2025
Sanjana and Angad often seen supporting Bumrah during matches. Their bond is always loved by cricket fans. The couple has always received positive attention, especially for their simple and affectionate relationship. Sanjana and Bumrah married in 2021 and welcomed their son Angad in 2023.
Fans love Bumrah and Sanjana because of their grounded nature. They always support one another in public and the IPL 2025 match was no exception. Images of them enjoying when Bumrah won the T20 World Cup in 2024 went viral and people loved them.
Society Needs Change
Sanjana’s Instagram story also raises a major issue about how people use social media to comment on celebrities and their families’ personal lives. It shows how this society is growing with people having the ability to express themselves but at the same time being required to respect the feelings and private lives of others.
This incident also teaches a lesson to consider our authority before commenting on someone else’s personal life. Remarks made about a child not only affect a family but also have a negative impact on society. It’s critical to remember the responsibility that comes with discussing other people, especially with children.
