Kuldeep Yadav's engagement post with fiancée Vanshika vanishes just days after announcement
On Monday, June 16, Kuldeep Yadav surprised his Instagram followers when he shared a photograph with his fiancée, Vanshika. However, the post was quickly deleted just a few minutes later. The picture showed the couple dressed in their Western wedding attire in an outdoor setting, taken shortly after they had completed their private engagement ceremony.
Kuldeep's post's sudden removal has now sparked widespread speculation. This news comes just days before India's critical Test series in England.
A private ceremony goes public, briefly
Kuldeep and Vanshika, childhood friends from Lucknow, exchanged rings with a small gathering on June 4 in their hometown. Close family and friends—including teammate Rinku Singh—witnessed the couple celebrate at a small banquet, as reported by The Times of India.
While Kuldeep initially chose to keep the event under wraps, fans had caught a glimpse of the celebration when a relative of Vanshika shared a congratulatory post that read, 'The team is growing stronger! Welcome to the squad jiju.'
Said post sees Vanshika wearing a flowing white gown with a plunging neckline for the occasion. Meanwhile, Kuldeep complements her look with a sharp black suit. Though Kuldeep's own post was removed shortly after being published, screenshots of the couple's photos quickly went viral across fan pages.
Fans speculate as Yadav's focus remains on England
The sudden deletion of the engagement post sparked widespread speculation online. While some fans questioned whether it meant there were complications between the two, others simply pointed out Yadav's typically private nature.
However, with India's 5-Test tour of England set to begin on June 20, the spinner's focus remains on the field. Now considered a key figure in India's spin department following R Ashwin's retirement, Kuldeep is expected to play a vital role on English pitches.
Despite the surprising Instagram move, his engagement to Vanshika—who currently resides in Melbourne and works with LIC—remains confirmed by both families. For now, Kuldeep is letting his bowling do the talking, even as social media continues to speculate.

Last Updated: Although Mohsin Khan has not been linked to anyone officially in recent times, he was previously rumoured to be dating his YRKKH co-star Shivangi Joshi. Television actor Mohsin Khan has finally broken his silence on reports claiming he's set to get married soon. Best known for playing Kartik Goenka in the long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Mohsin took to Instagram to address the speculation head-on.

He's been seen in a few music videos but hasn't announced any major acting projects yet. With his latest post, Mohsin has made it clear that fans will have to wait a little longer for an official wedding announcement. First Published:

Make the World Test Championship more inclusive in two groups
In the next 15 months, South Africa, World Test champions, play no series at home. This says something important about their win in the final at Lord's where they beat Australia convincingly in what their low-key leader, Tenda Bavuma, the first Black man to captain the country called, 'a win for the 'small' teams. These currently being nine of 12 Test nations outside the so-called Big Three of India, England, Australia who have greater resources, larger talent pools and more victories in ICC tournaments. In England — where the final was played — fans of English cricket (and some players) thought South Africa didn't deserve to be in the final; their cricket board focused on two-Test series like someone forced to meet a requirement while the real thing was being played elsewhere. They had sent a 'B' team to New Zealand and unsurprisingly lost the series while the main players remained at home to play T20 franchise cricket. While other cricket boards at least made a show of encouraging Test cricket, South Africa's gave up all pretense and simply gave in to the current money machine. They played neither Australia nor England in the third cycle of the World Test Championship which now has three different winners, after New Zealand, another small team, won the inaugural final and Australia the next. Twists and turns The final was everything Test cricket is about. Unpredictable, for one, with as many twists and turns as a road to a hilltop. Emotionally draining for supporters, with every possibility alive almost till the end. One moment Australia looked like a team that could not lose, next, like one that could not win. After the first day, Mitch Starc the batter turned out to be more effective than Mitch Starc the bowler. Commentators told us the pitch was slow, it was fast, the ball was coming on, it wasn't coming on, Australia were too far ahead for it to be competitive, perhaps merely giving breath to their biases. Aidan Markham played the innings of his life; so did Bavuma, who went from being a symbol (he was called a 'quota captain' when he took over) to an individual with a big heart and a calculating head. He has won nine of his first ten Tests, leading South Africa to eight wins in a row at the end of it. Does this mean Test cricket will get a boost in South Africa or that the country's reputation of being chokers will no longer apply? The former depends on their administrators and the latter on the players. But what of the WTC itself? Is it time to have at least a three-Test final because a series win is the essence of the format? Importantly, is it time to look at some other changes? We must begin with an understanding — that we cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Looking for the perfect system is fine, but waiting till we have one before starting the World Test Championship cycles would have worked against it. That only nine of the 12 countries playing Test cricket are involved in the WTC cycle means that 'lesser' teams ( one step below Bavuma's 'small' teams) will continue to struggle. Most experts are against the notion of splitting the teams into two groups, fearing that this will lead to endless matches among India, England, Australia with the others getting further marginalised. New structure But if the two groups are divided so that every alternate team is in one group – thus, teams ranked in the odd number, one, three five in one and two, four, six in the other, it would mean all twelve get to be involved. Going by the current rankings, therefore, Australia, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan would be in one group while South Africa, India, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Ireland and Zimbabwe would be in the other. No promotion or relegation, no greater and lesser group. It will also help with the scheduling too. The cycle could be of three years rather than the current two. And the points system simplified. England skipper Ben Stokes has called the competition 'utterly confusing'. The aim should be to make it less confusing and more inclusive, as any World championship ought to be.
