Mumbai, Nov 23 (NationPress) The wedding of music composer Palash Muchhal and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana has been postponed indefinitely.
This decision follows the news that Smriti Mandhana's father, Shrinivas, suffered a heart attack, as reported by sources to IANS. The couple was set to tie the knot in Sangli, Maharashtra, her native town, this coming Sunday.
Palash Muchhal is known for his chart-topping Hindi film music, while Smriti recently celebrated her achievement in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 Finals. The Women's Indian Cricket Team triumphed over South Africa in the finals held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, echoing the success of the Men's cricket team against the same opponents in the T20 World Cup 2024 Final.
Smriti played an integral role in India's historic win at the ICC Women's ODI World Cup, amassing 434 runs across nine innings, the highest by any Indian in a single World Cup edition. Her century against New Zealand and strong partnerships at the top were crucial for India's success. She emerged as the leading run-scorer as India clinched their first title in the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2025, defeating South Africa in the final.
During the World Cup Final, South Africa won the toss, and their captain Laura Wolvaardt opted to bowl first. The Indian team, led by Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma as openers, set off with an explosive 104-run partnership. Smriti contributed 45 runs off 58 balls, while Shafali scored impressively with 87 runs off 78 balls, including 7 boundaries and 2 sixes. The Indian team concluded their innings with a total of 298 runs, just shy of the 300 mark.
In a thrilling finish, India secured victory by 52 runs, with Deepti Sharma excelling both with the bat and ball, achieving a 5-wicket haul while conceding only 39 runs, earning her the Player of the Tournament title. Shafali Verma was recognized as the Player of the Match.
