The wedding will take place at the historic Welcomhotel The Savoy in the hill station of Mussoorie. According to reports, Kuldeep and Vanshika were engaged in a private ceremony in Lucknow in June last year, attended by close family members.

The upcoming wedding is expected to be a largely private affair, though several prominent cricket personalities are likely to attend. Among those expected at the celebrations are former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, along with current international players Rinku Singh, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma.

The celebrations follow India’s dominant triumph in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where India defeated New Zealand after posting a massive total of 255 runs. The total was powered by half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson, while New Zealand were bowled out for 159.

Reflecting on the victory earlier, Kuldeep had expressed pride in the team’s achievement. “It is an important victory. The tournament went very well for us, and we have been preparing for this for a long time,” he said.

He also shared a heartfelt note for teammate Sanju Samson, adding, “I have shared my cricketing journey with him since the Under-12s, and I am very happy to see him reap the rewards of his hard work over the years.”
