Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana, known for her quiet charisma on and off the field, is set to marry music director Palash Muchhal on November 23. During their pre-wedding celebrations, a video buzzing across social media caught the duo performing a lively choreographed dance.
In the clip, Mandhana confidently places a garland around Muchhal’s neck while he bows before her—a playful role-reversal that immediately caught the attention of fans. What surprised many was the fact that the cricketer, often thought of as reserved, appeared entirely at ease, stepping into the spotlight with finesse and flair.

Colour, Rituals and a Twist of Cricket
The celebrations have been rich with traditional wedding rituals and sporting fun. The engagement was revealed in a light-hearted way: Mandhana posted an Instagram reel in which she and her teammates danced—ending with a subtle show of her ring—while Muchhal responded with a heartfelt video from the proposal site.
Then came the Haldi ceremony, in which Mandhana, dressed in vibrant yellow, danced alongside her teammates from India’s women’s cricket squad, and the Mehendi too saw her in a striking purple outfit.
But the real kicker: they organised a friendly cricket match between “Team Bride” (led by Mandhana) and “Team Groom” (led by Muchhal). Team Bride emerged victorious—adding sporting spirit and a bit of fun competition to the festivities.
Social-Media Buzz & Fan Reactions
The online reaction has been immediate and enthusiastic. Social-media users shared clips of the dance and tagged Mandhana’s “girl-gang” performing in the background of one frame. For many fans, it was a delightful shift from the image of a low-key professional athlete to someone fully embracing celebration. One tweet read: > “oh my god smriti’s girl gang performed for her”
The vivid display of joy, combined with the unexpected fun of a cricket match in the pre-wedding routine, seems to have resonated widely—people are cheering for both the couple’s chemistry and Mandhana’s step into a different kind of moment. With the wedding day fast approaching, the videos and pictures are already shaping up to be a highlight of both sports and social media circles.
