Gautam Gambhir was spotted attending the wedding celebrations of Arjun Tendulkar in Mumbai just hours before India’s crucial semifinal against England cricket team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The Indian head coach arrived at the ceremony dressed in traditional attire, drawing attention ahead of the high-pressure knockout fixture.India, under Gambhir’s guidance, had earlier faced a tense moment during their Super 8 encounter but managed to rise to the challenge and eliminate the two-time champions to secure a place in the last four of the tournament. With the semifinal clash approaching, Gambhir was seen making a brief appearance at the wedding event.According to reports, a few members of the Indian squad were also present at the function. The timing made it possible because the ceremony was being held at the same hotel where the Indian team was staying before the semifinal match.The wedding attracted several well-known personalities from across the country who gathered to celebrate the occasion.Arjun married Saaniya Chandhok, with the couple having announced their engagement in August last year. Saaniya comes from a prominent business family and is the granddaughter of Ravi Ghai, chairman of the Graviss Group. She has also shared a close friendship with the Tendulkar family for years, especially with Arjun’s sister Sara Tendulkar.The 26-year-old Arjun has had limited appearances in the Indian Premier League so far. Playing for Mumbai Indians, he has featured in five matches, taking three wickets while conceding 114 runs and scoring 13 runs with the bat.At the domestic level, Arjun currently represents Goa cricket team after making his debut for the Mumbai cricket team in 2021.Ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction, Arjun was traded from Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants and is set to turn out for the franchise in the upcoming season.He was originally bought by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2021 mini-auction for ₹20 lakh, although he did not get a chance to feature in a match during that season.
