Smriti Mandhana Set To Tie Knot With This 30-Year-Old Music Composer From Indore

Smriti Mandhana, who is vice-captain of the Indian women's cricket team, is rumoured to be in a relationship with Palash Muchhal.

Star left-handed batter and Indian women’s cricket team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana is all set to marry Indian music composer Palash Muchhal. The news was confirmed by Palash himself recently in Indore. Mandhana, who is representing the Indian women’s cricket team in the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, is in Indore these days, and on Sunday (October 19), she will take the field against England at the city’s Holkar Stadium.

Ahead of the Indian team’s high-voltage match against the Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side, Palash confirmed the news of his wedding to Smriti.

During an event at the State Press Club in Indore on Friday, Muchhal, who hails from the city, was asked about his bond with Smriti, and he said, “She will soon become the daughter-in-law of Indore… that’s all I want to say."

In the past, on multiple occasions, the duo have shared pictures of them together but never confirmed the relationship officially.

Must win match for India

India will face England in their fifth league match of the ongoing ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 on Sunday, October 19, in Indore. The match against England is a must-win for India because if the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side fails to get the better of England, then their chances of qualifying for the semifinals of the ongoing eight-team tournament will take a massive hit.

As of now, with 4 points from four matches, India are fourth in the points table. New Zealand also have four points to their credit, but they are in fifth place due to a poor net run rate (NRR) in comparison to India.

Two teams – Australia and South Africa – have booked their place in the semifinals of the ongoing tournament, and if England beat India in Indore, then the Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side will also be through to the last four.

India are coming into Sunday’s match after losing their last two fixtures against South Africa and Australia by 3 wickets each in Visakhapatnam. On the other hand, England’s last match against Pakistan in Colombo on Wednesday (October 15) ended in a draw.
