The event was attended by close relatives and friends, including India teammate Rinku Singh. Vanshika, who is employed with LIC, belongs to Shyam Nagar in Lucknow. The engagement came soon after the IPL season and just ahead of India’s Test series in England, which started on June 20. The wedding is likely to be held later in the year.

On the cricket front, Kuldeep was India’s only specialist spinner in the squad, but was left out of all five Tests that India played in the five-mach series. He has played just one Test in England so far, delivering nine overs, and was expected to have a bigger role in the upcoming five-match series. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep was in the mix early on, especially with his improved red-ball form. However, despite several pundits and former cricketers calling for his inclusion in the squad, it was not to be. He was one of the three players in the India squad that did not play a single game in England in the Test series. Arshdeep Singh and Abhimanyu Easwaran were the other two.
