#3 Jaydev Unadkat
Jaydev Unadkat is among the few Indian cricketers who can bowl left-arm pace. The Saurashtra skipper made his Test debut for India in 2010. In recent years, he has been in and out of the Indian limited-overs teams.
Unadkat impressed everyone with his performances for the Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017. He was instrumental in Pune's runner-up finish that year. After Pune exited the IPL, the Rajasthan Royals signed Jaydev in the auction. So far, he has not been so successful for the Jaipur-based franchise. Still, the Royals have backed him.
Jaydev Unadkat got married to Rinny Kantaria on February 2, 2021. The marriage ceremony happened in the presence of their close friends and family members. As per reports, the couple got hitched in Anand.
#2 Varun Chakravarthy
Rising star, Varun Chakravarthy could have received his maiden international cap on the 2020-21 Australian tour. Unfortunately, his injury did not allow him to travel with the squad. Varun's Tamil Nadu teammate, T Natarajan replaced him in the Indian T20I team.
Chakravarthy came into the limelight after the Kings XI Punjab splurged a whopping ₹8.4 crores for his services in the IPL 2019 Auction. Unfortunately, Varun could not live up to his price tag and soon returned to the auction pool. The Kolkata Knight Riders signed him before IPL 2020. Chakravarthy realized his full potential at KKR and finished in the top 10 of the 'Purple Cap' leaderboard.
As Varun Chakravarthy returned home after IPL 2020, he married his long-time girlfriend, Neha Khedekar. The two got hitched in a lavish ceremony in Chennai.
#1 Vijay Shankar
Many Indian cricketers have participated in the 50-over World Cup. However, none of them could scalp a wicket off their first ball before Vijay Shankar. The Tamil Nadu all-rounder accomplished this feat in a high-profile 2019 World Cup match against Pakistan.
Shankar dismissed Imam-ul-Haq on the first ball of his cricket World Cup career. However, he suffered an injury during the tournament, which forced him to return home.
The all-rounder represented the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2020. Unfortunately, Vijay injured his hamstring during the competition. Thus, he missed the 2021 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy also. While on the sidelines, Shankar married his fiancee Vaishali Visweswaran in early 2021.
