"This is actually what my wife loves" - Jasprit Bumrah reveals Sanjana Ganesan's favorite savory snack after ENG vs IND 2025 series

Team India's ace speedster Jasprit Bumrah recently featured on the YouTube channel SPORTbible's show, 'Snack War'. During the episode, he spoke about his wife Sanjana Ganesan's love for 'Chakali', a spiral-shaped savory Indian snack.

Bumrah was asked to rate the United Kingdom's wheat-based snack, Twiglets, and Chakali. The star fast bowler revealed that his wife is very fond of Chakali. The 31-year-old remarked (at 5:11):

"This is what actually my wife loves because this is something that comes from her home side as well."

Meanwhile, Bumrah was also served pickled walnuts during the segment. After the host warned him about the food item, the seamer jokingly inquired if he was asked to eat it because he had picked up a lot of wickets against England.

"Is it because I've taken a few wickets of England," Bumrah joked (at 1:53).

He also cheekily asked the host if he was being made a 'guinea pig' for weird food items. However, Bumrah ultimately ended up choosing the pickled walnuts over pakoras (fritters).

Bumrah reacted after tasting the pickled walnuts (at 3:34):

"Basically, you made me the guinea pig, and this is an experiment."

On the cricketing front, Jasprit Bumrah was part of India's recently concluded five-match away Test series against England. He was rested for the second and fifth Tests as part of his workload management.

The Indian pace spearhead was India's second-highest wicket-taker of the series, with 14 wickets across five innings. The gruelling series ended in a stalemate, with the scoreline reading 2-2 after India's thrilling six-run victory in the final fixture.

Speaking about how he would go to buy the popular Indian snack on a bicycle, Bumrah said:

"My mother used to give this as a treat to us. There was a shop that was nearby where I, as a youngster, would go on my bike and get it for our family. So, this has got a lot of memories to it, that I've been eating it since I was a child."
