Revealed: The Only Cricketer Who Attended Virat Kohli & Anushka Sharma's Wedding In Italy

By no stretch of imagination, one can say that Virat Kohli’s just-concluded wedding in Italy was planned in a jiffy. The picturesque location of the European country, the designer dresses, the well-planned functions are enough to prove that the wedding was being planned for quite some time but was kept under the wraps perhaps to avoid unnecessary attention.

In fact, the wedding plans were kept a secret, and the ceremony was kept a private affair to such an extent that not a single Indian cricketer made it to guest lists. While one can understand that Kohli’s teammates could not make it to the wedding because of the ongoing series against Sri Lanka, it was quite baffling not to see a single another cricketer who is not a part of the ongoing series or any former cricketer attending the wedding. Media reports were suggesting that Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh were the only two cricketers who were invited to the wedding, but it turned out to false.

Well, the only cricketer who played with Virat Kohli and was invited to the wedding was Vartik Tihara. He was Kohli’s during his U17 days almost 12 years ago and was seen taking an active part in nearly all the ceremonies. Tihara shares a close bond with the India skipper and the pictures from the wedding very much prove that.
