The whole world was focussing on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's possible engagement, but on the sidelines, another Indian cricketer quietly announced his marriage. But the manner was so touching that it melted the Internet
While the whole world was focussing on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's possible engagement, one of his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammates actually went ahead and announced his marriage in a most unique way that will melt your heart.
Sachin Baby, who plays for RCB in IPL and Kerala team in the Indian domestic circuit, announced his marriage to Anna Chandy in a grand fashion.
The 28-year-old cricketer proposed to his girlfriend, whom he has been dating for a year-and-a-half, on the cricket field.
The video of the proposal and the announcement of the wedding date has gone viral and been seen close to 1.5 lakh times and become one of the trending videos since being uploaded on YouTube.
The video begins with Sachin Baby thanking the Kerala Cricket Association, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sachin Tendulkar fans. It shows a sporting Anna running in and disturbing Sachin's timber, clearly showing the cricketer was clean bowled by the BDS graduate. The couple, who are seen in RCB kits, then announce the wedding date -- the duo will tie the knot on January 5, 2017 at St. Sebastian’s Church in Thodupuzha.
The two are then seen lying on the cricket ground in Bollywood style with the trademark trumpet sound of the IPL in the background.
Sachin, who joined RCB from Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 9, has scored 119 runs from 11 matches for the Kohli led franchise.
The left-handed batsman, who made his debut in domestic cricket in 2009, has played 47 first-class matches scoring 2092 runs with three hundreds and 11 half-centuries. 2016 has been good season for him since he managed to hit his career's highest score this year -- 250 not out against Services.
Anna, meanwhile, like Ravindra Jadeja's wife Reeva Solanki, is preparing to crack the IAS exams.
While Sachin may not have made the Indian team yet, his stylish proposal and wedding date annoucement video has surely set a very high standard for all Indian bachelor cricketers to beat.
