Team India and Punjab Kings' leg-spinner Rahul Chahar is set to tie the knot before the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. He will marry Ishani in a destination wedding in Goa on Wednesday (March 9).
The duo have been engaged to each other since 2019 and are expected to host their wedding reception on Saturday (March 12).
Interestingly, Rahul and Ishani were dating each other for a long time before getting engaged.
Rahul has been quite vocal regarding his love for his fiancée. Time and again, he has shared some lovely pictures with Ishani.
Former Mumbai Indians leggie Rahul Chahar made his IPL debut in 2017 with Rising Pune Supergiants. Following this, he had been a part of the Mumbai Indians squad after getting picked for a price of Rs 1.9 crore. He has had a relatively decent stint in IPL after having picked 43 wickets in 42 games. His best stint came in last season in IPL 2021 where he picked 13 wickets in 11 games with an average of 24.46.
The young spinner went under the hammer in IPL 2022 Mega Auction last month and was sold for a price of Rs 5.25 crore to the Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for Rahul Chahar's wedding. Apart from cousin and Team India all-rounder Deepak Chahar of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), other Indian players will be present at his wedding. Reports claim that Rahul’s family have already reached the destination.
Ishani is a fashion designer based out of Bengaluru.
Rahul, who hails from Bharatpur in Rajasthan, made his international debut for India in August 2019, when he played his career's maiden T20I against West Indies. He has played 6 T20I matches for India, bagging 7 wickets. The spinner has played a solitary ODI game after getting his cap against Sri Lanka in 2021. He had a memorable ODI debut after scalping 3 wickets in the match.
Rahul Chahar, who is the cousin of Chennai Super Kings paceman Deepak Chahar, got engaged to long-time girlfriend Ishani back in 2019.
