A host of cricketers' personal lives are currently under scrutiny as Manish Pandey is the latest one to come under that category. He and his wife Ashrita Shetty have unfollowed one another on Instagram.
The 35-year-old tied the knot with Ashrita in December 2019. The couple have also removed images of one another from their social media platform. The right-handed batter now follows no one on Instagram, while Ashrita follows 165 on the platform, with no signs of her following her husband.
These developments come after reports of Yuzvendra Chahal's potential separation from Dhanashree Varma as it followed Hardik Pandya's official divorce from Natasa Stankovic, who have a son named Agastya.
Manish Pandey last donned the national team's colours in 2021
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old Indian cricketer last played for the Men in Blue during India's tour of Sri Lanka in 2021. With the national team resting many of their star players during the tour, fringe cricketers got the opportunity.
However, the veteran failed to make the most of that chance and never got another look. Having made his maiden international appearance in July 2015 during India's tour of Zimbabwe, Manish has plied his trade in 29 ODIs and 39 T20Is, collectively scoring 1275 runs.
His best performance in the international arena was arguably against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in January 2016 when he smacked an unbeaten 104 to help the tourists chase down 331 with six wickets to spare. The right-hander is also the first Indian cricketer to accumulate a century in IPL history, doing so for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) against the Deccan Chargers in the 2009 edition.
The Nainital-born cricketer went on to become an integral part of Kolkata Knight Riders' set-up when they lifted their second IPL trophy in 2014 by beating the Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in the final.
