Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra took to X to wish his wife Aakshi Chopra on the occasion of Valentine's Day 2025 on Friday, February 14.

He put up a funny yet witty and romantic post, where he said that he loves his wife more than Sachin Tendulkar's straight drive. Sachin, among the top batters in world cricket, was famously known for his brilliant trademark straight-drive.

"I love you more than I love Sachin paji’s Straight-Drive 😍 Need I say more?? 🤪🫣#ValentinesDay," he captioned his post on X.

Take a look at the pictures posted by the former India cricketer wishing his wife on Valentine's Day 2025 below -

For those unknown, Aakshi Chopra has previously been a media professional, co-author, and entrepreneur as well.

Aakash Chopra made his international debut for India in a Test match against New Zealand in Ahmedabad in 2003. However, his international career never really took off and was short-lived.

He played only 10 Test matches for India and batted in 19 innings, scoring 437 runs at an average of 23.00 with just two half-centuries. The Uttar Pradesh-born cricketer never played ODI and T20I cricket for India.
