Indian cricketer Shardul Thakur is all set to get married to his fiancée, entrepreneur Mittali Parulkar. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the couple who got engaged last year, will marry next year, on February 27. The news was confirmed by Parulkar.

“I have butterflies in my stomach,” said Parulkar in an exclusive chat with Hindustan Times. Parulkar, who is the founder of a baking startup, further revealed that the pre-wedding festivities will begin on February 25.

Parulkar further said that since Thakur will be busy with his cricket schedule till February, she has taken the onus of arrangements upon herself.

“His schedule is packed; he is playing until February 24 and will only be able to join by February 25. So, I have taken charge. We are expecting almost 200 to 250 guests at the wedding; it’s going to be too hectic,” Parulkar added.

The wedding with family and friends will take place on the outskirts of Mumbai, in Karjat. “Initially, we wanted to have a destination wedding in Goa, but given the logistics and so many people involved, it would have been extremely difficult,” Parulkar said.

Furthermore, the to-be bride informed that the wedding will be done in Maharashtrian style with a few spins. Revealing the information about her looks, she said, “I’m currently finalising the designers. I’m certain that I will wear a nauvari saree for the main ceremony; for the rest, we are figuring it out. We are yet to lock in the final look.” Parulkar adds that she will curate and bake her wedding cake.

Shardul Thakur benched in the first Test against Bangladesh

Meanwhile, Shardul Thakur is currently in Bangladesh as a part of the Test Squad and has been benched in the first Test. Earlier, Thakur returned to the Indian team on the tour of New Zealand. In the only completed ODI game of the series, he was expensive with the ball as he gave away 63 runs in nine overs while also picking one wicket.

However, he made a good comeback with the ball in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Bangladesh where he picked up four wickets in three games at an average of 24.50 and an economy of 4.08.
