On Wednesday, the veteran Australian all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell took to Instagram to reveal that he got engaged to his Indian-origin girlfriend Vini Raman on Wednesday. He posted a picture with his fiancee and captioned the post with a ring emoji.
Vini Raman also posted a picture on her Instagram account and revealed that Glenn had asked her to marry him last week. Captioning the picture, she wrote: “Last week my favourite person asked me to marry him #YES”.
The explosive batsman also sported a ’tilak’ on his forehead to complete the Indian look. Captioning the picture of the same, Raman wrote: “Last night we celebrated our Indian engagement and I gave @gmaxi_32 a little teaser of what the wedding will be like. Shout out to both of our incredible families & all our friends who came to celebrate with us on such short notice – we are so grateful to be surrounded by some pretty amazing people.”
Maxwell was left out of Australia’s squad for the tour to South Africa as he had been advised to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow. The injury forced Glenn to miss the action for six to eight weeks, Cricket Australia had confirmed on February 12.

The 31-year-old all-rounder had taken a mental health break back in October last year. Maxwell said it was his girlfriend, who first noticed the change in him. He had said, “It was actually my partner who suggested I speak to someone, she was the first one who noticed it, so I should probably thank her as well. Once I had that initial conversation it was a big weight off my shoulders.”
Maxwell credited his girlfriend who stood by him during his initial struggles with mental health. She shared another set of photos from their engagement, this time with both their families.
Her caption wrote: “FAMILY,” she wrote to start her caption before thanking the photographer “for capturing these special moments. Still can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have @gmaxi_32 + an amazing second family who have been so welcoming,.”
The Australian all-rounder further added, “My girlfriend was probably No. 1, it wasn’t an easy job for her to deal with me going through my mood swings for the first few weeks, but Michael Lloyd was the guy I had the initial conversation with, he’s been someone who I’ve confided in since back in the academy days, so I’ve known him for well over a decade now.”
