Ishant, your turn now!
WANT TO KNOW HOW THE COUPLE MET? READ MORE ABOUT THE WEDDING ON
On Friday night, we attended cricketer Ishant Sharma’s
wedding celebrations, as he tied the knot with professional basketball player Pratima Singh.
While the groom was dressed in a maroon and gold sherwani topped with a traditional turban, the bride looked radiant in a peach lehenga. Wondering how the couple met? “They met when Ishant was invited for a basketball match as the chief guest. They fell in love at first sight! I think they make a perfect match and he calls her ‘Beauty Queen’ lovingly,” said Divya Singh, Pratima’s sister and former captain of the Indian National Women’s Basketball Team. Ishant’s cricketing colleagues also paid a quick visit to congratulate the bride and groom but were caught in a fan frenzy.
India’s limited-overs skipper MS Dhoni entered the venue all suited but he had to make a quick exit afterwards. We also spotted cricketer Yuvraj Singh who arrived sans wife Hazel Keech. Yuvi was clicked with the couple and was also seen sharing a joke with Ishant on stage. BCCI president Anurag Thakur also visited the wedding venue in Gurgaon to congratulate the couple but he arrived only after midnight. Winter-perfect floral décor added warmth to the celebrations, while a live band belted out popular Hindi and Punjabi songs kept the evening going. The food was served in gilded plates with a wide spread of delicacies lined up for the guests. Looks like it’s the season for wedding bells for our cricket team! We wonder who’s next.
