[In Pictures] Axar Patel ties the knot with Meha Patel in Vadodara

Team India all-rounder Axar Patel tied the knot with Meha Patel in Vadodara on Thursday, January 26. The 29-year-old took leave from the ongoing limited-overs series against New Zealand at home for his wedding.

Before Axar, another Indian cricketer, KL Rahul, got married to actor Athiya Shetty in Khandala, Maharashtra, in a private ceremony on January 23.

While Axar is yet to share any pictures from his wedding function, images and videos from his wedding and sangeet ceremony have gone viral on social media.

The all-rounder got engaged on his birthday last year.

Saurashtra captain and Team India left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat shared a picture with the newlyweds on his official Instagram handle. He uploaded the image with the caption:

“Lots of love & good vibes to the newly weds! ❤️. Welcome to the club.. 😉🥂.”
