Across the borders, we have seen some popular cricket couples such as Mitchell Starc and Alyssa Healy. However, there are not many examples in India. While the likes of Dinesh Karthik did get married to an athlete, a cricketer entering wedlock with a woman cricketer has not happened much. That said, we have some active examples right now. Here, we take a look at the list of two active Indian cricketers who are married to a cricketer.

1) Kedar Jadhav – Snehal Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav and Snehal Jadhav got married in 2015. Not many know that Snehal was actually a cricketer who represented Maharashtra in quite a few matches. In total, she played 1 FC, 37 List A and 31 T20 Matches. She is a right-handed wicket-keeper batter. A few years ago, she announced retirement.

Kedar is still active in the game. Although he suffered a rough patch, he is back to form and is currently captaining Maharashtra in the Ranji Trophy. Yes, he did miss out on an IPL contract but if he gets a chance as a replacement player like last season, it is not a surprise.

2) Ruturaj Gaikwad – Utkarsha Pawar

Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the active Indian cricketers who are married to a cricketer. Not many know that Ruturaj’s wife is an active women’s cricketer. In fact, she is playing in the ongoing Senior Women’s ODI Trophy and Ruturaj recently posted a message of support to her. Utkarsha is a talented all-rounder.

On the other hand, Ruturaj is recovering from an injury. Had he been available, he would have been a part of the England Test series. Nevertheless, the management sees him as an all-format player and it is not long before the CSK star cements his spot in all the three formats of the game for Team India. He will make his comeback in IPL 2024.
