Mussoorie, March 14 (NationPress) The recently celebrated T20 World Cup victor, Kuldeep Yadav, embarked on a new chapter in his life by marrying his long-time sweetheart, Vanshika Chadha, in a beautiful ceremony held in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, on Saturday.
Kuldeep played a pivotal role in the Indian team's triumphant 2026 T20 World Cup campaign, culminating in a remarkable win over New Zealand during the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Many of India's cricket luminaries, such as former captains Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, and Yuzvendra Chahal, were present to celebrate the joyous occasion.
The wedding festivities commenced on Friday with a vibrant Haldi ceremony, where Yuzvendra Chahal entertained guests with his dance moves while applying haldi on Kuldeep.
“Thrilled to see @kuldeep_18 marry his soulmate. Wishing you both endless love, laughter, and blessings. Congratulations!” remarked T. Dilip, the former fielding coach of the Indian team, in a heartfelt social media message on Saturday.
Tilak Varma, another key player from India's T20 World Cup-winning squad, arrived in Dehradun on Saturday afternoon specifically to join in the wedding celebrations.
In a conversation with IANS outside the Jolly Grant Airport, Tilak expressed his excitement for the wedding, noting, “We’re here to enjoy Kuldeep’s wedding and will focus on our IPL preparation right after.”
The couple, both hailing from Kanpur, got engaged in a private ceremony in Lucknow on June 4, 2025. Vanshika, who works in Australia and has been friends with Kuldeep for many years, is the daughter of an LIC employee. The wedding, initially scheduled for November 2025, was postponed due to the World Cup schedule.
