Team India’s star cricketer and left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav has gotten engaged to his childhood friend. In a ceremony held in Lucknow on Wednesday, Kuldeep exchanged rings with his longtime friend Vanshika. The event was attended by several well-known cricketers. According to reports, Vanshika hails from Kanpur and her father works with LIC. Among the guests was Indian cricketer Rinku Singh, along with other prominent names from the cricketing world.
Kuldeep Yadav has also been selected for India’s upcoming tour of England, where the team is set to play a five-match Test series starting from June 20.
