Bhuvneshwar Kumar set to tie the knot before the end of the year

Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar recently revealed the mystery girl, his better half a day before the two got engaged on October 4. Nupur Nagar who has been Bhuvi’s family friend for a long time is an engineer and works in Noida. Bhuvneshwar’s father Kiran Pal Singh soon after the engagement had clarified that they are just waiting to find a 10-day slot and will finalize the wedding dates.

Now it has been reported that the cricketer will take the vows with Nupur Nagar on November 23 in Meerut; only their close friends and family members will attend the ceremony. The families will host two receptions one on November 26 for Bhuvi’s extended family in Bulandshahr and the other a mega event in New Delhi on November 30 where Bhuvi’s teammates will grace their presence.

The likes of Indian captain Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, his Uttar Pradesh teammate Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are expected to be present at the reception. Along with the cricketers the office bearers of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) are also on the guest list.

“The wedding will take place in Meerut and it will be attended by family and close friends. But we want Bhuvneshwar’s teammates and members from the Board to also take part in celebrations, which is why we will have a reception in Delhi for them. We are sure everybody will attend it because the entire team will be in Delhi from November 30 for the Sri Lanka series,” Bhuvneshwar’s father was quoted as saying by TOI.

Parallel assignment

While the family was initially trying to avoid a collision with the home matches for the Indian team it looks like the pacer will have to miss at least the second Test against Sri Lanka scheduled to be played from November 24-28 if not the entire series.
