Pink is the colour of love: Jasprit Bumrah ties the knot with TV-presenter Sanjana Ganesan

Team India pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah tied the knot with sports TV presenter Sanjana Ganesan during the weekend in a Gurudwara.

The 27-year-old cricketer took to social media to announce the news. He said that the couple have begun their new journey together 'steered by love'.



The couple shared moments from the Sikh-style wedding which were captured by the team of noted photographer Joseph Radhik, who had also shot memorable pictures from power couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's wedding in Italy.

The newly weds dazzled in hues of pink - which was a clear reminder of the Virushka wedding.

While Bumrah looked dapper in a pink sherwani with gold embroidery, the sports anchor was breathtaking in a matching-floral lehenga with traditional jewellery and minimal make-up.

The new bride also posted two pictures from their big day with the same caption - "Love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course." While the couple didn't confirm where the location of the wedding, earlier news reports suggested that the two will get married in Goa.

Bumrah had opted out of the fourth and final Test against England due to this reason, according to reports. Sources had said at the time that the right-arm fast bowler had pulled out citing 'personal reasons' and had sought permission from the Indian cricket board (BCCI), which gave the him permission to withdraw.

Bumrah is unlikely to play in the five-match T20 International series against England that starts on March 12, also in Ahmedabad. The talk in Ahmedabad during the fourth Test was that he was likely to get married to a sports presenter.

Bumrah, with his mother and sister, were due to travel to Mumbai on way to Goa. Only a select few family members were likely to attend the wedding due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, sources said.

The India team members would not be present due to the ongoing series as well as restrictions.

Bumrah was born and brought up in Ahmedabad. He and his sister were raised by their mother after the death of their father. Bumrah's mother was the vice-principal of Nirman Public School where the fast bowler studied and first took up cricket under the coaching of Kishore Trivedi.

Before becoming a sports presenter, Ganesan was a finalist at the Miss India pageant in 2014 and was also part of MTV Splitsvilla reality show.
