"Our son is NOT your source of entertainment," snapped Sanjana Ganesan.
But what exactly happened that even Jasprit Bumrah’s wife lost her patience? Everyone knows Bumrah was the true hero of the match. But how did the spotlight suddenly shift to their little son, Angad?

That's because a few social media geniuses decided that judging a toddler’s facial expressions based on a 5-second clip was completely fine. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
Enter Sanjana — in full beast mode — ready to shut the circus down.
Sanjana's full message:
"Our son is NOT a topic for your entertainment. Jasprit and I do everything in our power to keep Angad away from social media because the internet is a despicable, vile place to be and I completely understand the implications of bringing a child to a cricket stadium filled with cameras, but please understand that Angad and I were there to support Jasprit and nothing else," she said in her strong message to trolls.
Throwing around words like trauma and depression in reference to a baby says so much about who we're becoming as a community and it's honestly really sad. You know nothing about our son, nothing about our lives and I request you to keep your opinions online true to that,” she said on Instagram Stories."

And now you finally understand why Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are so fiercely protective of their kids?
Because the internet simply has no chill — especially when it comes to the families of public figures.
No empathy, no boundaries, just a desperate hunt for content.

So often, cricketers' wives are unfairly targeted — as if they’re the ones dropping catches or missing yorkers.
But dragging a toddler into this mess? Throwing around heavy-duty terms like “depression” and “trauma” based on one innocent expression?

That’s not just crossing a line — that’s tearing it apart. And that’s exactly what Sanjana stood up against — with fire, and rightly so. This wasn’t just a bold stand — it was a wake-up slap to a world that sometimes forgets:
Behind every cricketer, every hero, every headline — there’s a family. And privacy isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic right.

Think before you troll. Especially when a child is involved.
