Cricketer Kuldeep Yadav gets engaged to Vanshika: Who is she?

With IPL 2025 just getting over, the news of cricketer Kuldeep Yadav getting engaged to Vanshika came as a pleasant surprise to many. Kuldeep and Vanshika's intimate engagement ceremony was held in Lucknow on Wednesday, June 4, and it was attended by their close friends and family, as per reports. Pictures of their engagement were shared on Wednesday evening, and they soon went viral.


Their engagement was also attended by cricketer Rinku Singh and his to-be wife Priya Saroj. Rinku’s presence finally puts an end to the swirling rumours of a fallout with Yadav. The speculation started after the infamous “slap” incident between the DC spinner and the KKR batter, which took place shortly after their clash at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. Apart from Rinku Singh, a few other cricketers from Uttar Pradesh had also attended the event.
