Lovely to see this. And it's wonderful to see the camaraderie that Indian & Pakistani players share with each other unlike the vile & hateful stuff that you see on Twitter. https://t.co/5cf1m10RTV

Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan became parents when their son was born on September 4. Consequently, the Indian fast bowler departed from the Asia Cup campaign to be with his partner during this special moment and to welcome their first child together. They have chosen the name Angad for their son.
