Team India’s fast bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur got hitched to his fiancée Mittali Parulkar on Monday (February 27), becoming the third well-known Indian cricketer to marry this year after KL Rahul and Axar Patel.
For the biಌg day, Shardul sported an embroidered beige-toned ⭕sherwani, while Mittali wore an all-red bridal lehenga. Needless to say, the couple looked absolutely breathtaking at their traditional Marathi wedding.
The intimate ceremony took place in Mumbai, where many of Shardul’s colleagues were present.
At the Sangeet ritual on Sunday, players like Abhishek Nayar, Deepak Chahar, Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal and Rohit Sharma marked their attendance.
