The romantic journey between Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan began back in 2019. After two years of being together, the couple made the decision to tie the knot. On March 15, 2021, Sanjana and Bumrah celebrated their marriage with a lavish ceremony in Goa. However, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the wedding was an indoor affair with only close family members and a select group of friends in attendance.
Meanwhile, talking about the match, the Indian cricket team, asked to bat first, managed to accumulate a total of 147 runs while losing only two wickets in 24.1 overs before the rain completely washed out the day’s play. The duo of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are still holding firm on the crease.
Additionally, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill both displayed impressive performances by scoring solid half-centuries for the team, adding a opening partnership of 121 runs. The match will now resume on the reserve day on Monday from 3 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
