Some of India’s biggest cricketing stars, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, are expected to attend the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant, in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. The wedding celebrations are set to take place at a private location on March 12-13.
Sakshi Pant’s Wedding Details
Sakshi Pant is tying the knot with businessman Ankit Chaudhary after dating for nearly nine years. The couple got engaged in London in January 2024, with MS Dhoni among the guests at the ceremony.
Sakshi, who pursued her education in the UK, enjoys a strong social media presence due to her travel content and stylish posts.
Pant’s Journey Back to Cricket
Rishabh Pant’s journey in the last two years has been remarkable. The wicketkeeper-batter survived a near-fatal car accident in December 2022, which sidelined him for over a year. Following multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation, he made a successful return to cricket.
Since his comeback:
- Helped India win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where India defeated New Zealand in the final.
- Scored a match-winning century against Bangladesh in Test cricket (September 2024), equaling MS Dhoni’s record for the most Test hundreds by an Indian wicketkeeper.
- Became the most expensive player in IPL history when Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bought him for ₹27 crore at the 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, surpassing Punjab Kings’ ₹26.75 crore bid for Shreyas Iyer.
- Was named LSG captain for IPL 2025, which kicks off on March 22.
Star-Studded Gathering in Mussoorie
As Pant prepares for IPL 2025, the focus is now on his sister’s wedding, which is expected to be attended by some of Indian cricket’s biggest names. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni reportedly flying to Mussoorie, the event will be one of the most high-profile cricket gatherings before the IPL season begins.
