The celebrations for Indian cricket continue in full swing after the Indian Women’s National Cricket Team lifted their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 trophy on November 2 in Mumbai. But the joy has only multiplied for fans, as vice-captain Smriti Mandhana is now set to begin a new innings in her personal life. The elegant left-hander is all set to tie the knot with her longtime boyfriend and renowned music composer Palash Muchhal later this month.
According to reports, the wedding will take place on November 20 in Mandhana’s hometown of Sangli, Maharashtra, a place that holds deep emotional significance for her. Sangli is where Smriti’s cricket journey began — from childhood training sessions in Madhavnagar to the first steps that would eventually make her one of the most admired names in world cricket.
The upcoming wedding is expected to be an intimate yet grand affair, attended by close friends and family from both the cricket and music fraternities. Preparations are already underway in Sangli, with pre-wedding festivities likely to include traditional Maharashtrian rituals, vibrant sangeet nights, and musical performances. Smriti and Palash, who went public with their relationship in 2024 through a heartfelt social media post, have often been seen supporting each other’s careers.

While Smriti continues to dazzle with her elegant batting, Palash Muchhal has made a name for himself in the Indian music industry with hits like Tu Jo Kahe, Party Toh Banti Hai, Musafir, and O Khuda. At a recent event in Indore, Palash confirmed the wedding rumours in his signature witty style. “She will soon become the daughter-in-law of Indore… bas itna hi kehna hai,” he smiled, adding, “I’ve given you the headline.”

Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana continues to rule the cricketing world. In the Women’s World Cup 2025 final against South Africa, she broke Mithali Raj’s long-standing record for the most runs by an Indian in a single World Cup edition. Entering the final with 389 runs, she needed just 21 more to surpass Mithali’s 409 from 2017 — and achieved it in style with a fluent knock during the first innings at DY Patil Stadium.
Her composed batting, graceful stroke play, and consistency made her one of the standout performers in India’s historic campaign. Finishing with over 400 runs, Smriti Mandhana not only powered India to glory but also cemented her place as one of modern cricket’s finest icons — on and off the field.
