Team India’s star batter and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has given the nation yet another reason to celebrate, not just by helping India lift the Women’s Cricket World Cup, but also with reports of her upcoming wedding to longtime boyfriend Palash Muchhal.

According to a report by Anand Bazaar Patrika, Smriti and Palash are set to tie the knot on November 20, 2025, in an intimate ceremony in Sangli, Maharashtra, her hometown and the place where her cricketing journey began.

While the news of the wedding made headlines, another detail caught the internet’s attention, Palash Muchhal’s heartfelt tattoo dedicated to Smriti. After India’s historic World Cup win, Palash celebrated by posting a picture of Smriti holding the trophy, captioned “Sabse aage hai hum Hindustani.”

Eagle-eyed fans noticed his tattoo, ‘SM 18’, symbolising Smriti’s initials and her jersey number, visibly inked on his arm. The gesture instantly went viral, with fans flooding social media with admiration.

“Men hyping their women is the best genre,” one fan wrote. Another commented, “Mannnnn… that tattoo stole my heart!”

A third user playfully added, “Ab shaadi kar le bhai jaldi!” (not get married soon brother).

Smriti and Palash made their relationship public in 2024 with a joint Instagram post after dating since 2019. The couple often share glimpses of their journey, balancing cricket and music with ease.
