Cricketer Manish Pandey all set to marry Tamil actress Ashrita Shetty

India cricketer Manish Pandey is set to get hooked on December 2. The flamboyant batsman from Bangalore is set to tie the knot with actress Ashrita Shetty in Mumbai.

Sources told that it will be a two-day private affair and only their close friends and relatives have been invited. Pandey has closely guarded his love-affair with Ashrita for quite some time.

One of the reasons Pandey has decided to hold his marriage functions in Mumbai is due to the three-match T20I series v West Indies which kicks off on December 6 at the Wankhede Stadium.

In the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy, Indian middle-order batsman Manish Pandey has been in stellar form. Pandey scored a century and four half-centuries in six innings as Karnataka’s skipper in the tournament.

At an average of 80.80, Pandey scored 404 runs at a strike rate of 104.39. In the tournament, he is currently the second-highest run-scorer.

Last year, after the home series against West Indies, Pandey was dropped from the limited-overs squads. However, in ODI and T20I teams during the West Indies tour, the 30-year-old cricketer made a comeback.

His batting performance was below par during the West Indies tour. But at the back of his current form in domestic cricket, Pandey would be looking to make amends at the highest level.
