Manish Pandey Marries Actress Ashrita Shetty In Mumbai
Manish Pandey led Karnataka to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title just a day ahead of his marriage with Ashrita Shetty.
Middle-order batsman Manish Pandey got married to actress Ashrita Shetty in Mumbai on Monday, just a day after he led Karnataka to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title. SunRisers Hyderabad, who Manish Pandey represents in the Indian Premier League (IPL), tweeted their wishes for the explosive batsman with the caption "Wishing good luck, happiness and lots of love to @im_manishpandey and Ashrita." The wedding caps off a good year for the 30-year-old, who captained Karnataka to the Vijay Hazare Trophy and their second consecutive Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Pandey led from the front in the Syed Mushtaq Ali final on Sunday in Lucknow, scoring an unbeaten 45-ball 60 as Karnataka made 180. They were in for a scare, with Tamil Nadu nearly completing the chase, but they held their nerves and came out winners by just one run.
Pandey, who is in India's squad for their upcoming T20I series against West Indies, said after the match: "looking forward to the India series, but tomorrow a big series to come... I'm getting married tomorrow."
Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy won. But @im_manishpandey still has a lot to look forward to.
