The ICC Champions Trophy is done and dusted, and the cricketing world now pivots towards the grand spectacle of IPL 2025. But before the tournament ignites its fiery battles, Indian cricket’s biggest icons—Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli—are set to grace a personal celebration. The duo, along with MS Dhoni and other Indian stalwarts, will reportedly attend Rishabh Pant’s sister, Sakshi Pant’s wedding in Mussoorie. The grand affair is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing together cricket’s elite beyond the boundary ropes. Last year, Sakshi Pant got engaged to businessman Ankit Chaudhary, with none other than MS Dhoni attending the London ceremony. Now, as she embarks on a new journey, the presence of Rohit, Kohli, and others amplifies the emotional weight of the occasion. Rishabh Pant, fresh from India’s victorious ICC Champions Trophy campaign in Dubai, may not have played a single game, but his presence in the squad was symbolic of his resilience. The wicketkeeper-batter had fought his way back into the international fold after a horrific car accident sidelined him for over a year. Now, just before he takes charge as the new captain of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), this wedding offers a moment of respite and celebration.

The IPL 2025 Mega Auction saw Lucknow break the bank to secure Pant for a record-smashing ₹27 crore, making him the most expensive player in the league’s history. With this monumental deal, he now shoulders the responsibility of leading LSG, replacing KL Rahul at the helm. LSG will lock horns with Pant’s former franchise, Delhi Capitals, on March 24. It’s poetic—a homecoming of sorts, but as a rival captain. The stakes are colossal, the emotions intense. Will Pant’s leadership spark a new chapter for Lucknow? Or will his past loyalties haunt him? Before the grind begins, the wedding in Mussoorie will serve as a brief but beautiful pause, where cricket’s biggest names gather not for competition, but for celebration.
