Sanjana Ganesan, Jasprit Bumrah’s wife who works for the International Cricket Council (ICC), took to Twitter on Friday (October 7) to share a photo of herself after boarding the flight to Australia.u00a0However, she could never have predicted that a simple picture would result in harsh trolling on social media.
Sulky detractors went to new lows, mocking her husband’s absence from the global event.u00a0Anonymous Twitter users targeted Sanjana, claiming that she is not the Bumrah they were hoping to fly down under with.
