There has not been an Indian fast bowler quite like Jasprit Bumrah in this generation. The Ahmedabad-born son of a chemical-factory owner who passed away when Jasprit was seven, raised by a school principal mother on a single income, who broke into the IPL at twenty for the Mumbai Indians and into Test cricket at twenty-four for India, is the bowler on whom modern Indian fast bowling now rests. Behind every yorker sit a small Sikh-Gujarati family in Ahmedabad and a television-presenter wife in Mumbai.
The Family's Roots: The Sikh Community of Ahmedabad
The Bumrah family belongs to the Punjabi Sikh community. Jasprit was born in Ahmedabad on 6 December 1993.
His Father: Jasbir Singh Bumrah
Jasbir Singh Bumrah ran a small chemical-industry business in Ahmedabad. He died of hepatitis B in 2001, when Jasprit was seven. Jasprit has spoken in interviews about how the loss reshaped everything in the household — and how his mother carried both parents' roles from that day onwards.
His Mother: Daljit Bumrah
Daljit Bumrah is the principal of Nirman High School in Ahmedabad. She raised Jasprit and his elder sister on a teacher's salary after her husband's death, and is widely credited by Jasprit as the single most important figure in his career.
His Sister: Juhika Bumrah
Juhika Bumrah, Jasprit's elder sister, has stayed out of the public eye.
His Wife: Sanjana Ganesan
Sanjana Ganesan, born 3 August 1992 in Pune, is a sports television presenter for Star Sports. She and Jasprit met during the 2018 IPL season. They married on 15 March 2021 in a small ceremony in Goa.
Their Son: Angad Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit and Sanjana welcomed their son Angad Jasprit Bumrah on 3 September 2023.

What the Bumrah Family Story Teaches Us
A father lost at seven. A school-principal mother who became the sole parent. An elder sister. A late-arriving Test debut at 24. A television-presenter wife who built her own career in front of cameras. A son born in the middle of a World Cup-winning run. The Bumrah family tree is small, recent, and irreducibly specific.
For every family — large or small, famous or otherwise — the Bumrah story carries the same lesson. The loss of a parent at seven is not a footnote; it is a load-bearing fact about who the child becomes. Write the losses down. They belong on the tree.
