New Delhi, March 11 (NationPress) Stars from the Indian cricket team are anticipated to converge in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand to celebrate the wedding of wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant's sister, Sakshi Pant.
The wedding festivities are scheduled to occur at an undisclosed venue in Mussoorie on Tuesday and Wednesday. Notable attendees include India captain Rohit Sharma, prominent batsman Virat Kohli, and former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Sakshi Pant is set to marry businessman Ankit Chaudhary. The couple got engaged last year after a relationship spanning nearly nine years, with former Indian skipper MS Dhoni among the guests at their engagement ceremony held in London in January 2024.
Sakshi, a UK-educated individual, enjoys a significant social media presence, showcasing her travel adventures and fashionable attire.
Rishabh Pant was part of the squad that won the Champions Trophy, where India triumphed over New Zealand in the final, securing their third title.
The wicketkeeper-batter narrowly escaped a life-threatening car accident in December 2022. Following multiple surgeries and a prolonged rehabilitation process, he made a triumphant return to cricket after over a year, contributing to India's victory in the T20 World Cup.
Upon his return to Test cricket, he achieved a match-winning century against Bangladesh in September 2024, tying with Dhoni for the record of the most Test hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper.
In the 2025 mega auction, Pant became the highest-priced player in IPL history, purchased by the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a staggering Rs 27 crore in Jeddah last November, surpassing the previous record held by Punjab Kings' (PBKS) bid of Rs 26.75 crore for Shreyas Iyer.
This January, he was officially announced as the LSG captain for IPL 2025, which begins on March 22.
