After World Cup glory, Hardik Pandya dazzles with mentor MS Dhoni at Anant-Radhika sangeet ceremony – watch – Times of India

Bollywood and cricket celebrities turned the pre-wedding sangeet ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant into a star-studded affair as Hardik Pandya, fresh from his heroics at India’s triumphant T20 World Cup campaign, made a fashion statement, while MS Dhoni also graced the occasion.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan was also seen accompanying Hardik and Krunal Pandya. Also in attendance were KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer.



Dhoni, who attended the ceremony along with his wife Sakshi, chose to attire himself in traditional Indian wear.

Before Rohit Sharma, it was under Dhoni’s captaincy that India won the T20 World Cup in the tournament’s inaugural edition in 2007.



Another Mumbai boy Shreyas, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to their third Indian Premier League title just before the T20 World Cup, also attended the festivities.

Shreyas, however, was not part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup, beating South Africa by seven runs in a pulsating final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on June 29.



Rahul, who missed out on the T20 World Cup squad, arrived alongside his wife Athiya Shetty.

The couple posed for the cameras before making their way to the function.



The next assignment for the ‘Men in Blue’ will be in Zimbabwe, where the Shubman Gill-led second-string Indian side will take on the hosts in a five-match T20I series in Harare beginning July 6.
