Indeed, it has been a wedding season in India as many of the famous cricketers have decided to tie the knot with their loved ones in the last three months. The recent addition to it has been India’s premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah who had left the squad in the midway of the England test series citing personal reasons and he got married in Goa on March 15.

Family and emotions are more important than anything in this world, and cricketers have been aware of this with the best example being the cricketer’s wives being allowed to travel with them during the cricket tours. Also, Virat Kohli despite being the captain of India had to return home during the Australian tour to take care of his pregnant wife Anushka Sharma which shows the amount of importance the cricketers should show to their families.
