Indian cricket superstars Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni are expected to attend the wedding of Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant, in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand. The wedding celebrations are planned for Tuesday and Wednesday at a private venue.
Who Is Rishabh Pant's Sister?
Sakshi Pant is set to marry businessman Ankit Chaudhary after being together for nearly nine years. The couple got engaged last year, and their engagement ceremony in London earlier this year was attended by MS Dhoni and close family members. Sakshi, who studied in the UK, is quite popular on social media for sharing her travel experiences and stylish fashion choices.
The wedding is expected to be a grand affair, with several Indian cricketers and celebrities joining the celebrations. Though the location has been kept private, the presence of cricketing legends is sure to make it a star-studded event.
For Rishabh Pant, this wedding comes at a special time in his career. He recently was a part of the Champions Trophy India's squad, where India defeated New Zealand in the final to win their third title at the Dubai International Cricket Ground on March 9.
Rishabh Pant made a strong comeback to cricket after a 1.5-year break due to a serious car accident. He played in IPL 2024 and later helped India win the T20 World Cup. In April 2024, he was named in India’s squad for the tournament, marking his return to international cricket. His smart gameplay was crucial in India’s final win against South Africa.
When Will Rishabh Pant Play Next?
Pant also shined in Test cricket, scoring a match-winning century against Bangladesh in September 2024, equaling Dhoni’s record. Meanwhile, the star batter will be seen in action in the IPL 2025, leading Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as their captain and wicketkeeper-batter.
