Kuldeep Yadav marries childhood sweetheart Vanshika Chadha: Check all about her

Kuldeep Yadav, India’s left-arm spinner, tied the knot with his fiancée Vanshika in the hill station of Mussoorie on Saturday.

Who is Vanshika Chadha?

Vanshika Chadha shares a long connection with Kuldeep Yadav as the two have known each other since childhood. Vanshika Chadha works with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), a reputed financial institution in India. She reportedly works in an administrative or managerial position.

Kuldeep, from Lal Bungalow in Kanpur, and Vanshika Chadha, from Shyam Nagar, grew up as friends before their friendship blossomed into a lifelong commitment. Contrary to Kuldeep Yadav's much-publicized life, Vanshika Yadav has stayed out of the limelight and not much is known about her personal life. She’s built a steady career at the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and has been Kuldeep’s anchor through the grueling highs and lows of international cricket. She is rarely seen on social media or in the spotlight.


According to reports, the couple previously got engaged in a private ceremony held in Lucknow in June last year, an intimate event attended only by close family members.

It follows India's dominant performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India secured the title by defeating New Zealand after posting a massive total of 255 runs, powered by half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson.

New Zealand was subsequently bowled out for 159.

Speaking to ANI after the win, Kuldeep expressed his pride in the team's achievement. "It is an important victory. The tournament went very well for us, and we have been preparing for this for a long time," he said.

He also shared a heartfelt note for Sanju Samson, stating, "I have shared my cricketing journey with him since the Under-12s, and I am very happy to see him reap the rewards of his hard work over the years."
