Football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic presents a unique gift to cricketer Jasprit Bumrah, with Bumrah expressing heartfelt emotion in response.
Jasprit Bumrah, the star Indian bowler, has added a new piece to his collection of memorabilia. The fast bowler received a signed AC Milan jersey from football superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Bumrah, who was sidelined for two Tests in the England series, expressed his excitement about the gift on his Instagram. The signed jersey is a testament to Bumrah's passion for football, a passion that has been well-documented in the past.
The journey of the signed jersey is an interesting one. It seems that Bumrah had the opportunity to meet Manchester United during the Test series in England. Whether this encounter played a role in securing the jersey remains unknown, but it certainly added to the excitement.
Bumrah's wife, TV anchor Sanjay Ganesan, played a significant role in procuring the signed jersey. Bumrah motivated his wife to go the extra mile and secure the AC Milan jersey of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2023. Sanjay Ganesan, who seems to share her husband's passion for football, managed to secure the coveted item.
Bumrah shared his gratitude for his wife on Instagram, thanking her for her efforts. The signed jersey now takes pride of place in Bumrah's collection, a reminder of his love for the beautiful game.
Despite concerns raised due to Bumrah's early return to India due to workload concerns, the management's approach towards the bowler remains unchanged. Ajit Agarkar, a former Indian cricketer, emphasised that the approach will stay the same, focusing on the player's wellbeing and ensuring he is ready for future challenges.
In a turn of events, Bumrah has made his return to India's T20I squad for the Asia Cup. His absence from the England series was a blow to the team, but with his return, the team's prospects have certainly improved.
Bumrah's performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 earned him the Player of the Tournament award. His skills on the cricket field are undeniable, and his passion for football only adds to his charisma.
In a recent Instagram story, Bumrah paid tribute to Zlatan's iconic bicycle kick against England in 2012, by featuring the "Sanjin & Youthman" song, a track that was released in 2013. This shows that Bumrah is not just a cricket enthusiast, but also a football aficionado, with a keen interest in the sport's history.
As Bumrah continues to make headlines in the cricket world, his love for football remains a constant. Whether it's meeting football stars or collecting signed jerseys, Bumrah's passion for the beautiful game is evident.
