In this collection of photos, we will take you through how Team India enjoyed Shardul Thakur's Haldi and Sangeet ceremony.
Indian cricketer Shardul Thakur recently got married to Mittali Parulkar in a grand ceremony that was attended by several of his friends, fans, and teammates. The wedding festivities included traditional functions such as Sangeet and Haldi, as well as a modern-themed pool party before the actual wedding.
Several notable cricketers and personalities attended the wedding functions of Shardul Thakur. This included current Indian captain Rohit Sharma, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer, choreographer Dhanashree Verma, KKR team management member Abhishek Nayar, and Mumbai player Siddhesh Lad, among others.
Shardul Thakur has been named in the squad for the upcoming ODI series between India and Australia. This series is seen as a key contest in the run-up to the Cricket World Cup 2023. Thakur had played in the ODI series against New Zealand earlier this year and played a key role in India's victory.
Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer had praised Shardul Thakur for his match-winning contributions and called him the No. 1 bowling all-rounder in Indian ODI cricket at the moment. Jaffer had also mentioned that Deepak Chahar is another contender for the spot.
With India having a large number of talented seamers in limited-overs cricket, Shardul Thakur will need to make a big impression soon to cement his spot in the playing XI leading up to the Cricket World Cup 2023. India's home ODI series against Australia, which begins on March 17 in Mumbai, will be an important opportunity for him to showcase his skills.
