Sanjana Ganesan, sports broadcaster and wife of cricketer Jasprit Bumrah, hit back at trolls for mocking their 1.5-year-old son, Angad Bumrah, over his facial expression at Sunday’s IPL match. She, in her post, had urged to stop making assumptions about their toddler son based on a few seconds of footage.
“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 despicable, vile place to be, and I completely understand the implications of bringing a child to a cricket stadium filled with cameras, but please understand that Angad and I were there to support Jasprit and nothing else,” she said in her post, reacting strongly to the trolls.

Sanjana and Angad were present during the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) clash against Lucknow Super Giants in the Premier League. The photographs of the Bumrah family were widely shared on social media as the fast bowler guided MI to a commanding 54-run win, picking four wickets.
Many, reacting to the post, made insensitive comments regarding their child.

The broadcaster, strongly in her post, stated that her child is not a topic of entertainment. She had also condemned the use of terms linked to mental health, such as “depression” to describe Angad, who is 1.5 years old.
“Throwing around words like trauma and depression in reference to a baby says so much 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,” she said on Instagram Stories.

Meanwhile, Bumrah has been sensational since his comeback after recovering from his back injury, which he had sustained in January earlier this year. He made history by becoming the highest wicket-taker for MI in the IPL. His haul of four wickets led his team to its fifth successive win.
