Indian cricketer Kuldeep Yadav recently surprised fans with the announcement of his engagement to longtime friend Vanshika. The couple exchanged rings in a private ceremony held in Lucknow on June 4, 2025. Close friends and family gathered to celebrate the momentous occasion, and photos from the engagement have since gone viral on social media.

The couple made a stylish appearance for the engagement ceremony. Kuldeep looked elegant in a classic cream Bandhgala suit, while Vanshika turned heads in a bright orange lehenga that radiated festive charm. The coordinated yet contrasting look added to the celebratory mood of the event.

Who is Vanshika?

Vanshika is reportedly employed with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), and prefers to keep a low public profile despite her association with the cricketer.The engagement ceremony took place in Shyam Nagar, Lucknow, the hometown of Vanshika. According to reports, Vanshika and Kuldeep have known each other since childhood, and their bond gradually evolved into a romantic relationship.

Rinku Singh’s attendance quashes rumour mill

One of the most talked-about highlights of the event was the presence of fellow cricketer Rinku Singh, accompanied by his fiancée, Priya Saroj. Their attendance drew attention not only for their presence but also because it seemingly put to rest the recent speculation of a rift between Rinku and Kuldeep.

Rumors of a falling out had emerged earlier this IPL season following an alleged heated exchange between the Delhi Capitals spinner and the Kolkata Knight Riders batter at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, their reunion at the engagement suggests the two have moved past any prior tension.

The ceremony was also attended by a few more cricketers from Uttar Pradesh, making the event a star-studded yet close-knit gathering. The celebration was kept private, away from the media spotlight, aligning with the couple's preference for a more personal affair.

What’s next for the couple?

While no official wedding date has been announced yet, fans and well-wishers of Kuldeep Yadav are eagerly looking forward to the next chapter in his personal life.
