On May 6, 2025, Sanjana Ganesan turned 34, marking a significant milestone in a life characterized by elegance, intellect, and versatility. Known widely today as a prominent sports presenter and the wife of Indian pace ace Jasprit Bumrah, Sanjana's journey has been as multifaceted as it is inspiring. Her story spans ramp walks, corporate cubicles, television studios, and cricket stadiums, with each phase reflecting her constant reinvention and quiet resilience.
Born and raised in Pune, Sanjana is a gold medalist from the Symbiosis Institute of Technology. She began her career in modeling, gaining early recognition as a finalist in Femina Style Diva 2012 and Femina Miss India Pune 2013. In 2012, she was crowned Femina Officially Gorgeous, showcasing her presence and confidence at a young age.
After graduation, Sanjana worked as a software engineer with CDK Global from 2013 to 2014. Despite having a stable career in technology, her passion for communication and media led her to pivot into television. Her television debut came on MTV Splitsvilla 7, but a serious injury forced her to exit the show midway, presenting an early challenge that tested her resolve.
Her second innings began with hosting duties in the Premier Badminton League (PBL). Her articulate style and calm presence quickly earned her credibility in the sports broadcast circuit. Sanjana gained national recognition as part of Star Sports, anchoring shows like Match Point and Cricket Live. A pivotal moment in her career came when she hosted the 2019 Cricket World Cup for Indian audiences, further establishing her as a key figure in sports broadcasting.
In 2018, she was part of the IPL Player Auction, a high-pressure live broadcast environment. Her confident handling of one of cricket’s most-watched events earned her industry-wide praise. Sanjana also hosted The Knight Club, a digital series dedicated to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fans, which featured fun, fan-centric interactions and welcomed Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as a guest.
On her birthday, Sanjana received heartfelt wishes from her husband, Jasprit Bumrah. He took to Instagram to share a video of her dancing to Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" and penned a sweet note, stating, "Happy birthday my ❤️. Wishing you all the happiness and love forever. Angad and I will always be your in your corner, through thick and thin. We love you ❤️✨." Sanjana humorously reacted to the post, commenting, "Hahaha this?? really?! 😂❤️." Their son, Angad, was born on September 4, 2023, adding another layer of joy to their lives.
Jasprit Bumrah, a key player for the India National Cricket Team and Mumbai Indians, also made headlines recently as he returned to competitive cricket after recovering from a lower back injury sustained during the final Test of India's Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia in January. He missed several matches, including the 2025 Champions Trophy, but made a much-anticipated return during Mumbai Indians' home encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium on April 7, 2025. Since his comeback, Bumrah has picked up 11 wickets across seven outings at an impressive economy rate of 6.96, contributing to Mumbai Indians' current six-match unbeaten streak.
As Sanjana Ganesan celebrates her birthday, it’s clear that she is not just a sports presenter but a modern icon who balances professional poise with personal warmth. Her journey from a gold medalist in engineering to a celebrated sports broadcaster is a testament to her resilience and adaptability. In a world where public figures often face scrutiny, Sanjana has shown strength and grace, particularly in her recent response to online trolls who targeted their son, Angad.
In a climate where public figures are often under the microscope, Sanjana has stood firm against criticism, shutting down trolls on social media who made comments about her son. In a statement, she addressed the negativity, emphasizing that their family should not be the subject of entertainment or scrutiny.
As the couple continues to navigate their high-profile lives, their support for each other remains evident. With Sanjana's birthday serving as a reminder of her accomplishments and the love shared between her and Jasprit, it’s a moment to celebrate not only her professional achievements but also the personal milestones that define their family.
Looking ahead, both Sanjana and Jasprit seem poised for continued success in their respective fields. With the Mumbai Indians competing strongly in the IPL, and Sanjana's career trajectory showing no signs of slowing down, fans can expect to see much more from this dynamic duo.
As we honor Sanjana Ganesan on her 34th birthday, we recognize her journey as an inspiring tale of resilience, talent, and love. Her story is a reminder that behind every successful individual is a narrative filled with challenges, triumphs, and the unwavering support of loved ones.
