Watch: Jasprit Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan celebrates Rohit Sharma's wicket

Mumbai finally managed to win a game in the Indian T20 league 2022. After losing eight consecutive matches, they defeated Rajasthan by five wickets on Saturday. Although the five-time champions are more or less out of the race for the playoffs, this victory still comes as a huge sigh of relief to the Rohit Sharma-led side.

The fact that they won it on their skipper's birthday makes it icing over the cake. However, Sharma would be disappointed with his personal form as he was unimpressive once again. The opener was dismissed after scoring just two runs. During the third over, Ravichandran Ashwin managed to deceive Sharma and thus, got his wicket.

It has been 17 innings since India's all-format captain last scored a half-century in the cash-rich league. However, during his dismissal on Saturday, the fans drifted their attention towards another person. It was Jasprit Bumrah's wife Sanjana Ganesan. She was visibly celebrating Sharma's wicket. After Rohit Sharma was caught at backward square, the camera turned towards his wife Ritika Sajdeh.

While she was disappointed, Ganesan was seen clapping her hands and smiling. Thus, the images of her doing the same went viral in no time. Fans found it hilarious as the pacer and Sharma play together at Mumbai, but still the 28-year-old's wife was celebrating Sharma's wicket.  It is to be noted that Bumrah's wife is a TV presenter, and is frequently seen as an anchor.

Nevertheless, Suryakumar Yadav went on to score a brilliant half-century, and ensured that the Mumbai-based franchise end up on the winning side. As a result, they chased the total with four balls to spare. Thus, Sharma was happy with his troops, and praised them. During the post-match presentation, he stated that their real potential came out today.

"I'd definitely take it (win), that's how we play, real potential came out today, with the ball especially. They kept applying the pressure. If you keep taking wickets, it's going to be difficult for them, we did that perfectly today. This is the team we played in the first couple of games except a few bowling changes. When you have a season like that, you are not sure of your combination. You want to try out so many things," said Rohit Sharma.
