India's star spinner Kuldeep Yadav got engaged to his childhood friend Vanshika, in a close-knit traditional ceremony held in Lucknow on Wednesday, June 3. The moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in Kuldeep's life, adding to his achievements both on and off the cricket field.

The engagement ceremony was a private and intimate affair, attended by close family members, cherished friends, and a notable presence of cricketers hailing from Uttar Pradesh. Among the well-wishers present to celebrate with the couple was fellow Indian cricketer Rinku Singh. The event took place at a secluded venue within the city, and the atmosphere was filled with warmth, affection, and celebratory cheer.

 

Kuldeep Yadav's bride-to-be, Vanshika, is a resident of the Shyam Nagar area in Lucknow. Professionally, she is associated with the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). Notably, Vanshika and Kuldeep share a deep-rooted bond that traces back to their childhood. Their friendship reportedly blossomed over the years, evolving into a strong and enduring partnership that is now set to embark on a lifelong journey.

On the cricketing front, Kuldeep Yadav was recently seen in action representing the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League. During the tournament, he showcased his bowling prowess by taking 15 wickets across 14 matches. However, his efforts could not propel the Delhi Capitals into the playoff stages, as the team finished in the fifth position in the league standings.

Kuldeep will next be seen in action in the England tour as he has been included in the 18-member India's Test squad. The five-match Test series India and England is slated to start from June 20.

The upcoming series against England will mark the new cycle for World Test Championship (WTC). It also heralds a new era for Team India, particularly following the recent retirements of prominent players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin. This time around, the revamped Indian squad will be led by the talented Shubman Gill as they embark on their tour of England, presenting a fresh dynamic to the Test side. While Kuldeep Yadav recently celebrated his engagement, he has yet to disclose the specific dates for his wedding ceremony. Considering the somewhat sudden nature of his engagement announcement and his preference for privacy, it is speculated that he might opt for a quiet and intimate wedding, choosing to avoid extensive media attention surrounding the event.

In the wake of their engagement, Kuldeep Yadav and his soon-to-be bride, Vanshika, have been receiving an outpouring of congratulatory messages from well-wishers, including family, friends, and fellow cricketers. This indicates the happiness and excitement surrounding this new chapter in Kuldeep's personal life.
