Indian cricket star Smriti Mandhana is set to marry music composer Palash Muchhal today in an intimate ceremony in her hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra. The couple's wedding follows a week of joyful pre-wedding celebrations, including a vibrant mehndi and a lively sangeet ceremony attended by family and close friends, including members of the Indian cricket team.

Mandhana, who recently played a key role in India's Women’s World Cup victory, has been seen enjoying the festivities, showcasing a more playful side of her personality. The wedding will be a private affair, with a guest list limited to immediate family and close friends, reflecting the couple's desire for privacy.

The love story of Mandhana and Muchhal began in 2019 when they met through mutual friends in Mumbai. Their relationship blossomed over the years, despite their busy careers in cricket and the music industry. They kept their romance largely out of the public eye until July 2024, when they shared their relationship on social media, marking their five-year anniversary.

A memorable moment in their journey occurred when Muchhal proposed to Mandhana at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, shortly after India’s ODI World Cup win. He surprised her on the pitch where she had made history, kneeling with a ring and even getting a tattoo of her initials and jersey number, "SM18", on his forearm.

During the mehndi ceremony, Mandhana wore a stunning ombre saree in purple and lavender, while Muchhal complemented her in an ivory silk kurta-pyjama. Their sangeet was filled with romantic dances, with Muchhal serenading Mandhana and the couple sharing joyful moments on stage.

As they prepare to exchange vows today, fans and well-wishers are excited to celebrate this new chapter in their lives, marking a significant milestone for both the cricketer and the music composer.
