India spinner Kuldeep Yadav tied the knot with his childhood friend, Vanshika Chaddha, on Saturday in the hill station of Mussoorie. The ceremony was attended by several current and former cricketers, including Kuldeep's 2026 T20 World Cup-winning teammates Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh. Social media was flooded with pictures and videos from the couple's festivities, following their private engagement last year. In one viral clip, Kuldeep and Vanshika are seen walking hand-in-hand as pyrotechnics lit up the background.

Photos and videos circulating on social media have offered glimpses of the colorful Sangeet ceremony held on Friday evening. In images shared by cricketing icons Suresh Raina and Yuzvendra Chahal, the bride and groom were seen in coordinated traditional outfits that quickly went viral online.
Tilak, who reached Mussoorie on Saturday, earlier said that he will enjoy the wedding before getting into the preparation for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, where he will represent the five-time champions Mumbai Indians.
"We're going to Kuldeep's wedding to have fun. After that, we'll prepare for IPL," Tilak told IANS.
Media reports suggest that Kuldeep postponed the wedding, originally scheduled for November 2025, to focus on helping India clinch the T20 World Cup 2026. The couple, who both hail from Kanpur and grew up just 3 km apart, got engaged last year at a hotel in Lucknow. Vanshika currently works as an LIC employee.
Despite the team's success, Kuldeep featured just once during the T20 World Cup, returning tidy figures of 1/14 against arch-rivals Pakistan in the group stage. Meanwhile, the spinner's father, Ram Singh Yadav, visited Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath last week to personally extend a wedding invitation.
