In an electrifying IPL 2025 encounter at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians’ ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is regarded as one of the best in the business. But it wasn’t just his deadly yorker that dismissed Heinrich Klaasen which grabbed headlines—it was the heartwarming celebration afterward by his son Angad Bumrah with his mother Sanjana Ganesan that went viral across social media platforms.
The match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad was a tense affair, with both teams vying for crucial points. Opting to bowl first, Mumbai Indians’ captain Hardik Pandya made a strategic decision, factoring in the possibility of dew affecting the game in the latter stages. His bowlers, led by Bumrah, did not disappoint, putting Sunrisers Hyderabad under relentless pressure from the outset.
Bumrah’s moment of brilliance came when he uprooted Klaasen’s off-stump with a pinpoint yorker—an unplayable delivery that sent the South African powerhouse back to the pavilion for a well-made 37 runs off 28 balls, including three fours and two sixes. Bumrah ended the match with impressive figures of 1/21 in his spell, underlining his importance to the Mumbai camp. Other bowlers chipped in too, with Will Jacks claiming 2/14, Trent Boult taking 1/29, and Pandya himself picking up 1/42.
However, the highlight for many fans wasn’t just the on-field action. Cameras caught little Angad Bumrah, cheering from the stands, mimicking his father’s iconic celebration alongside his mother, sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan. The endearing moment quickly became the talk of the tournament, with hashtags like #AngadBumrah and #FamilyGoals trending on X within minutes.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, coming off a high after chasing down a mammoth 246 against Punjab Kings in their previous outing, found the going tough against Mumbai’s disciplined attack. Despite a late flourish from Klaasen, who smashed 21 runs in the 18th over off spinner Rahul Chahar with two towering sixes and two boundaries, SRH could only muster 162/5. Aniket Verma and captain Pat Cummins added some late fireworks, with Verma hitting two sixes off Pandya and Cummins finishing with a six off the final ball.
Reflecting on the match, Hardik Pandya expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance over the past few days. ‘Very excited, the way the last couple of days have gone,’ he said in the post-match presentation, emphasizing their faith in the batting unit. Addressing concerns about Bumrah’s workload, he reassured fans, ‘Bumrah is fine; we don’t have to worry about him. If he wasn’t 100%, he wouldn’t be here.’
As IPL 2025 continues to deliver unforgettable moments both on and off the field, Angad Bumrah’s innocent jubilance serves as a reminder of the human side of cricket—a sport that brings families and fans together in celebration. With Mumbai Indians looking in fine form, all eyes will be on whether they can maintain this momentum in the upcoming fixtures, with Jasprit Bumrah undoubtedly leading the charge.
