After playing a key role in India’s series victory over Sri Lanka earlier this month, off-spinner Axar Patel married his fiancee Maha Patel in Vadodara on Thursday.
Axar and Meha Patel married in a lavish ceremony in a Gujarati city, with close friends and family in attendance.
Due to his marriage, Axar missed the ODI series against New Zealand. Images and videos of which are circulating on social media.
In recent years, the 29-year-old has been an important member of India’s white-ball squads. He took four wickets against Lanka in T20Is and ODIs, but more importantly, he contributed with the bat to help the hosts win.
Axar is the second Indian cricketer to marry this week, following KL Rahul, who married Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty in Khandala on January 25.
