Mumbai Indians paceman Jasprit Bumrah has landed in Dubai with his wife and sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 resumption on Sunday (September 19). Defending champions MI will take on MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings with the first game in Dubai on Sunday.
The MI cricketers apart from Bumrah and Sanjana, which include skipper Rohit Sharma and his family and Suryakumar Yadav arrived in UAE on Saturday (September 11) after the fifth and final Test between India and England in Manchester was cancelled due to COVID-19 scare. All MI cricketers have not entered six day quarantine before they can be allowed to train with rest of their teammates.
Sanjana Ganesan, who will also resume her commitments with host broadcasters Star Sports in UAE, posted a couple of beautiful pictures from his hotel room while serving quarantine on Sunday (September 12).
