In the ongoing IPL, pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah became the highest wicket-taker for the Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The four wickets he took helped his team to win for the fifth time in succession with a 54-run thrashing of LSG. The 31-year-old, who has played 139 matches for the franchise so far, is married to sports broadcaster Sanjana Ganesan.
His wife, Sanjana Ganesan, visited the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) match with their little son to cheer for Jasprit on Sunday. The toddler became a topic of discussion on social media, garnering varied opinions from the netizens.
Social media users mocked Jasprit and Sanjana’s young child, Angad, over his facial expression. A three-second video clip of the toddler went viral on social media, where the baby did not show any facial expression after his father picked up a four-wicket haul at the stadium.

Sanjana Ganesan took to Instagram to slam the trolls who mocked their son Angad over his facial expression at Sunday’s match
Ganesan asked people to stop making assumptions about her toddler son based on a few seconds of footage. Addressing the trolls, she shared a strong message she 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
Sanjana also criticized users for using terms linked to mental health, such as “depression” and “trauma”, to Angad, who is just 1.5 years old.
She said,
“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”
On her Instagram Stories, she wrote,
“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”
Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan got married in 2021. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in March. They embraced parenthood and welcomed their son, Angad, in September 2023.

We agree with Sanjana that no one has the right to make assumptions about a toddler from a three-second video clip. What are your thoughts about the same? Let us know in the comments.
