Kuldeep Yadav’s life is about to get a major spin. Just two days after getting engaged to his childhood friend Vanshika, he’s off to England with the Indian cricket team. The tour starts on June 20, with five test matches lined up.
As the team’s main spinner, Kuldeep has a crucial role to play. He’ll be joined by all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. If he makes it to the playing XI, it’ll be his first test match for India since October 2024.
So, who’s Vanshika? She’s a resident of Shyam Nagar in Lucknow and works for LIC. The couple has known each other since childhood. For their engagement, Kuldeep wore a bandhgala suit, while Vanshika opted for a bright orange lehanga. They might tie the knot by the end of this year.
The Indian team is looking forward to the series, with Shubman Gill as the new captain. Everyone’s waiting to see how he’ll lead the team, especially after Rohit Sharma’s test retirement. The squad includes some talented players like Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and KL Rahul.
Here’s the team lineup:
- Shubman Gill (captain)
- Rishabh Pant (vice-captain)
