India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal reached Dehradun on Friday to take part in the wedding celebrations of teammate Kuldeep Yadav, expressing his delight at being present for the occasion.
Chahal spoke about his excitement and the close friendship he shares with Kuldeep while interacting with ANI. “I am very excited for my brother’s marriage. I will dance a lot and enjoy,” he said, suggesting festive celebrations are on the cards. The wedding follows Kuldeep’s recent success with the Indian team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Ahmedabad.
Kuldeep is set to marry his fiancée Vanshika on March 14 in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. The ceremony will be held at Welcomhotel The Savoy in the scenic hill station.
Reports indicate that the couple had earlier got engaged in a private ceremony in Lucknow in June last year, attended only by close family members. The upcoming wedding is also expected to remain an intimate event.
A number of prominent cricket personalities are likely to be part of the celebrations, including former India captain Sunil Gavaskar and current international players Rinku Singh, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, among other invitees.
