Sanjana Ganesan, wife of Jasprit Bumrah, has slammed social media users for making fun of their son Angad for his facial expressions during the IPL 2025 game between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants.
The video clip of the toddler went viral on social media, where Angad did not have any facial expression after Bumrah picked a four-wicket haul at the Wankhede Stadium.
Ganesan posted a story on Instagram to shut down the trolls and wrote, “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 added.
Sanjana Ganesan has urged people not to make assumptions about their one and a half year old son from a three second footage. She slammed people associating her son with words related to mental issues, such as ‘depression’ and ‘trauma’.
“We have no interest in our son being viral Internet content or national news, with unnecessarily opinionated keyboard warriors deciding who Angad is, what his problem is, what his personality is, from 3 seconds of footage. He is one and a half years old,” she said.
“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. A little honesty and a little kindness goes a long way in today’s world,” she concluded.
Sanjana Ganesan and Angad Bumrah are frequently spotted on the ground supporting Bumrah. Fans throughout the world adored the couple’s photos as they celebrated their victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup with their son.
Bumrah has been outstanding since making a full recovery from a back injury he suffered in Australia earlier this year in January. He has nine wickets in six games. Mumbai has secured five straight wins and climbed third position in the team standings.
Mumbai Indians will be playing their next match against Rajasthan Royals on May 01 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Chennai.
