Hours after winning Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Manish Pandey ties knot with Tamil actress Ashrita Shetty

Indian cricketer Manish Pandey is surely having the time of his life - first, he leads Karnataka to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title and second he ties the knot with Tamil actress Ashrita Shetty in a ceremony in Mumbai.

Pandey - who captained the Karnataka team - scored a brilliant 45-ball 60 to help his side reach a total of 180 runs in Surat. 

The defending champions went on to win the match by a run in a cliffhanger of a final against Tamil Nadu. 

The middle-order batsman mentioned in the post-match ceremony that he was getting married the next day. “Looking forward to the India series, but before that there is another important series for me, I am getting married tomorrow,” Pandey said after Karnataka’s win.

Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy won. But @im_manishpandey still has a lot to look forward to.
