After attending the wedding, Gambhir is expected to join the Indian team ahead of their high-stakes semi-final against England.
The winner of the India–England clash will travel to Ahmedabad to face New Zealand in the final of the T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday, March 8.
India have enjoyed a strong campaign in the tournament, winning six of their seven matches, with their only defeat coming against South Africa in the Super 8 stage. The defending champions secured their semi-final spot after defeating West Indies in their final Super 8 match.
England, meanwhile, have also impressed in the tournament. The two-time champions topped their Super 8 group with three wins in three matches, and the side led by Harry Brook will look to carry that momentum into the semi-final clash.
