Delhi: At present, on the front of women’s cricket in India, more than any match or tournament, there is talk of the marriage of Team India and one of the world’s top batsmen, Smriti Mandhana. Wedding programs and their photos are becoming very viral on social media. One such funny moment is when Palash Muchhal took Smriti Mandhana to DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai to propose.

They wore the ring there, British singer Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’ proposal video was playing in the background and, as soon as Palash himself shared the video, social media users flooded the comment section with ‘congratulations’ and heart emojis. In the stadium where Smriti’s team won the World Cup just a few days ago, Palash gave Smriti a bouquet of red roses, proposed on one knee and gave her the ring. The viral video also features her World Cup-winning teammates, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav and Arundhati Reddy.

Is Smriti Mandhana the first cricketer for whom the background of a stadium wedding proposal became a memorable occasion? It’s not like that. During a Chennai Super Kings-Punjab Kings match in the 2021 season of IPL, Chennai team’s Deepak Chahar proposed to his girlfriend in the stadium itself. Its video also went viral on social media. In it, Chahar can be seen putting a ring on his partner’s finger and hugging her in the stadium.

Incidentally, Chennai team lost this match against Punjab Kings but this match became memorable for Deepak Chahar. All these moments of engagement celebration became more popular than KL Rahul’s 98* in this match. After this Deepak Chahar married girlfriend Jaya Bhardwaj. Jaya is an actress in Mumbai.

Hong Kong cricketer Kinchit Shah proposed to his girlfriend after an India-Hong Kong match in 2022. The video of his proposal also went viral on social media, but since the cricketer is from the Hong Kong team, there was not much reaction to it at least in India. In this way this Asia Cup match against India became a memorable one. In that match, Kinchit also played a brilliant inning of 30 runs at the Dubai Stadium. Hong Kong team players were also seen cheering for the couple.

The story of Australian cricket superstar Usman Khawaja is also very interesting in this matter. During a TV show, along with his cricket, he also shared two aspects of his personal life: why his baggy green jersey is special to him and being married to a non-Muslim. His wife is Rachel. Married Rachel in 2017 and the story before that is interesting.

Both Usman and Rachel are from Australia but on the invitation of Usman, both the families reached America from Sydney. There, on his 21st birthday in June 2016, Usman proposed marriage during a horse and carriage ride in New York’s famous Central Park. Then in the background, despite all this happening in America, a cricket match was being played.

IPL star Sachin Baby had also proposed to his girlfriend Anna Chandy in the middle of the field in a similar manner in 2016. RCB batsman Sachin shared a video of himself with a girl named Ana, in which Ana was seen bowling and clean bowled Sachin. After that, Sachin proposed to his girlfriend by sitting on his knees and in that video itself, Sachin also announced the date of his marriage. Both were wearing RCB jersey.
