Indian cricket star and World Cup winner Smriti Mandhana has finally put the engagement rumours to rest – and in a style perfectly matching her cheerful personality. On Thursday, November 20, Mandhana shared a light-hearted Instagram reel with India teammates Jemimah Rodrigues, Radha Yadav, Shreyanka Patil and Arundhati Reddy, confirming the happy news that fans had been waiting for.

In the now-viral video, the group grooves to the popular track “Samjho Ho Hi Gaya” from Lage Raho Munna Bhai, before Mandhana reveals her sparkling diamond ring to the camera. The fun reveal instantly won the internet, with supporters calling it the “cutest thing on the internet today”. Even fellow cricketers joined the celebration in the comments, congratulating the vice-captain on her big moment.

Love, Cricket and Celebrations: Mandhana Steps Into a Special Milestone

The engagement comes after weeks of speculation surrounding her relationship with music composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal. Last month, Palash had cheekily hinted at their future while attending an event in Indore, saying, “She will soon become the daughter-in-law of Indore... that’s all I want to say,” fueling excitement among fans.

The couple, admired for keeping their personal life low-key, has reportedly been together since 2019. Their love story blossomed through shared interests in cricket and music, and Palash has often been spotted in the stands, supporting Mandhana during major matches. They made their relationship public only in 2024, choosing to let their journey speak for itself rather than media attention.

As India continues to celebrate its cricketing hero, fans now have another reason to cheer, the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in Smriti Mandhana’s life.
