ToggleManish Pandey, an India and Karnataka batter, has prompted suspicions of divorce from his wife Ashrita Shetty, only days after legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal caused a similar controversy.
Pandey and his wife unfollowed one other on Instagram, igniting suspicion about their breakup. The news has shocked the cricket community, as both of them had been seen together several times in the past.
Manish Pandey has been out of the Indian team for a long time. In 2021, he played an ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo, his last international match. Since then, bad form and intense competition in the Indian team have hampered his chances.
In addition to international cricket, the 35-year-old was recently omitted from Karnataka’s Vijay Hazare Trophy squad as selectors decided to invest in younger players following a disappointing performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Pandey is expected to play for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy’s second round.
Manish Pandey triggers divorce rumors with his wife
Manish Pandey married Ashrita Shetty, a model turned actress, on December 2, 2019, in Mumbai. They were frequently spotted together during the early years of their marriage, but they haven’t appeared in public in a long time.
Ashrita is said to have erased all of her photos with Manish Pandey from June of last year. Pandey has done a similar thing, deleting all of his Instagram images with his wife.
All of these occurrences have caused alarm among their family, friends, and fans. However, both have opted to remain mute thus far and have not issued an official comment on the subject.
Manish Pandey’s India cricketing career
Manish Pandey made a memorable ODI debut in 2015, scoring a crucial 71 off 86 balls in India’s victory against Zimbabwe. In 2016, he made news for scoring a stunning century against Australia in Sydney.
Pandey batted at No. 4 and hit a brilliant 104* off 81 balls, leading India to an unbelievable victory. Pandey hit eight fours and one six during his innings, helping India reach 331 with two balls remaining.
