R. Ashwin Ties the Knot with childhood friend Preethi Narayanan
R. Ashwin Rare Marriage Pics
Ravichandran Ashwin, India's new spinner, tied the knot today, 13th November 2011, with his childhood friend Preethi Narayanan. In a low-key wedding ceremony, the media was kept completely away with the function being attended by only family members and close friends.
The off-spinner had a memorable Test debut with a nine-wicket haul in the first Test against the West Indies in Delhi. After his traditional Hindu-style wedding, he along with his wife flew to Kolkata, where a reception has been planned at the team hotel for his Indian teammates.
What is interesting to know is that Ashwin is to play in a Test Match tomorrow, the very next day of his marriage. Last month Gautam Gambhir married Natasha, a local businessman's daughter whom he met a year ago. Gambhir had missed India's only Twenty20 encounter against England on account of his marriage.
Ashwin's impressive haul in Delhi Test included six in the second innings of a match which India won with more than a day to spare.
The 25-year-old Ashwin made his ODI and Twenty20 debuts last year for Chennai Super Kings. His wonderful Test debut, made the selectors include him in the next Test Match which is scheduled to start tomorrow, the 14th November, at Kolkata.
Wish them a very HAPPY MARRIED LIFE !!!
