A day after Manish Pandey won the Man of the Match for guiding Karnataka to a victory against Tamil Nadu in the Syed Mushtaq Ali final on Sunday, 1 December, he married southern actor Ashrita Shetty in Mumbai on Monday, 2 December.
While the world was surprised at the quick turnaround, Yuvraj Singh was present at the wedding, enjoying his friend’s big day to the fullest.
Yuvraj retired from Indian cricket earlier this year and has been plying his trade in T20 leagues all over the world, including the Abu Dhabi T10 league, which his team (Maratha Arbians) won. He also played for the Toronto Nationals in the Global T20 League in Canada.
The 39-year-old had not been retained by the Mumbai Indians going into IPL 2020 and has since not entered the auction either.
Manish Pandey had replaced Yuvraj Singh in the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup squad after Yuvraj had to withdraw due to injury.
