Sakshi Pant’s wedding: A grand affair
Sakshi Pant is set to marry businessman Ankit Chaudhary, her partner of nearly nine years. The couple got engaged in London in January 2024, with MS Dhoni among the special guests at the ceremony. Sakshi, who pursued her education in the UK, has a strong social media following, often sharing travel content and stylish glimpses of her life.
Rishabh Pant’s IPL record and future commitments
While the focus remains on his sister’s wedding, Rishabh Pant is also making headlines in the cricketing world. The star wicketkeeper-batter was part of India’s ICC T20 World Cup-winning squad and played a crucial role in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy triumph.
During the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history, securing a staggering ₹27 crore deal with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Following his sister’s wedding, Pant is set to join the LSG camp, where he will prepare for the upcoming season as their marquee player.
