India batting star Ruturaj Gaikwad, on Saturday (June 3), tied the knot with Utkarsha Pawar. The Chennai Super Kings opener took to Instagram to share some adorable photos from his wedding.
And unsurprisingly, the photos have gone viral in no time. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Utkarsha were in relationship for a long time. Just like the right-handed batsman, Utkarsha is also a professional cricketer. She is an allrounder – a fast-bowler and a right-handed batter – who played for Maharashtra in domestic circuit.
Her last appearance in competitive cricket came almost 18 month back. As of now, she is reportedly studying at the Institute of Nutrition and Fitness Sciences (INFS) in Pune. Ruturaj Gaikwad, on the other hand, is one of the best openers in the country right now and recently played a crucial role in Chennai Super Kings’ victorious campaign in IPL 2023.
He finished the tournament as the second highest run-scorer for Chennai Super Kings behind his opening partner Devon Conway. The 26-year old scored 590 runs in 16 games as the Chennai-based outfit won their fifth IPL title.
