‘I won’t share the pillow’: Bumrah’s reply to wife Sanjana goes viral

India's Jasprit Bumrah traveled to Japan during the team's trip and sought a custom-made ergonomic pillow from a specialized bedding studio. Specialists meticulously checked Bumrah's neck alignment and took precise measurements to determine the ideal height and support for the pillow. Teammate Axar Patel captured the entire process on camera, adding a humorous touch to the situation.

The detailed pillow fitting was no mere whim, as such customized pillows are commonplace in Japan, with brands like Jibunmakura even recognized by Guinness World Records for being the world's best-selling custom-made pillow brand. Bumrah's elaborate shopping venture, while initially seeming random, was far from it. In the midst of his pillow quest, Bumrah playfully joked to Axar, "Mere baad tu hai," indicating that his teammate was next.

However, the real laughter erupted once the video was uploaded online. Bumrah's wife, sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan, saw the footage and couldn't resist asking, "You've gone ALL THE WAY to Japan for THIS?" Bumrah retorted with his trademark wit: "I won't share the pillow when you ask for it." The humorous exchange quickly gained traction among cricket fans, who couldn't help but appreciate the effort Bumrah put into his unique souvenir.
