On Sunday, it was revealed that Jasprit Bumrah had joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) for the IPL 2025, with a video on social media featuring his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, and son, Angad Bumrah.

Jasprit Bumrah was at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, recovering from back surgery following his high bowling exertion in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He subsequently missed India's victorious Champions Trophy campaign.

Ahmedabad's 31-year-old right-arm fast bowler has 165 wickets in 133 IPL matches. Bumrah missed the 2023 season with a back issue.

Bumrah is reportedly at risk of having a stress fracture in his back as a result of an injury sustained during the Sydney Test earlier this year in January, which has kept him out of action.

MI retained him before the IPL 2025 mega-auction for INR 18 crores.

Meanwhile, in the MI video announcing his joining the squad, Sanjana Ganesan tells their son Angad the story of his father’s journey in IPL for the Mumbai Indians.

“Let me tell you a story. In 2013, there was a cub who entered this jungle, a jungle full of runs. Sixers and boundaries. Where everyone was scared. He showed courage over the years. He fought many battles. He fought for survival. He fought for his pride. He won, he lost, but never gave up.

These battles left him with scars. But these scars didn’t stop him. Once a cub, now a lion, and the lion is back. He is back to be the king of this jungle, again," Sanjana Ganesan told Angad in the video.
