The Indian cricket fraternity is abuzz with excitement as several big names are set to attend the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant. The wedding ceremony, scheduled to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, promises to be a star-studded affair, with the likes of Rohit Sharma and former Indian captain MS Dhoni expected to be in attendance. Dhoni had also graced Sakshi’s engagement ceremony earlier, showcasing his close bond with the Pant family.
The Road to the Big Day
Sakshi is all set to tie the knot with Ankit Choudhary, a businessman by profession, after dating him for nine long years. The couple got engaged in January 2024 in a ceremony held in London, which was also attended by MS Dhoni. A UK-educated Sakshi has garnered a massive following on social media, where she often shares pictures of her travels and trendy outfits, making headlines with her glamorous posts.
A Tough Time for Rishabh Pant
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has been facing a tumultuous time on the cricketing front. Despite being part of the Indian squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, he failed to get a single game under his belt. The team management had made it clear before the tournament that KL Rahul would be their first-choice wicketkeeper in ODIs. Although Rahul committed several errors during the tournament, there were calls for Pant to be included in the playing XI. As the Champions Trophy came to a close, Pant’s focus is now shifting to the IPL 2025, where he will lead the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The team had acquired Pant for a whopping 27 crores in the IPL 2025 mega auction, making him the most expensive player in IPL history.
As the cricket world converges on Mussoorie to celebrate Sakshi’s special day, all eyes will be on the Pant family, and the festivities are sure to be a memorable affair. With the who’s who of Indian cricket in attendance, the wedding promises to be a grand celebration of love, friendship, and cricketing camaraderie.
