Chennai Super Kings bowler Tushar Deshpande got engaged to his "school crush" Nabha Gaddamwar in a ceremony in Mumbai on Monday. The couple shared pictures of the engagement on their social media handles. “She got promoted from my school crush to My Fiance,” wrote Deshpande on his Instagram
Deshpande shot to fame with a sensational outing with Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023. The Mumbai pacer bagged 21 wickets for the Yellow Army and even led the Orange Cap race for quite a while

The couple's engagement was attended by Deshpande's CSK teammate Shivam Dube and his wife Anjum Khan. Recently-married Ruturaj Gaikwad posted an Instagram story with a heart emoji and another face emoji of overwhelming joy
Tushar Deshpande’s engagement comes after the marriage of teammate Ruturaj Gaikwad who opted out of the WTC final as a reserve opener because of his marriage. He got married with Utkarsha Pawar, an all-rounder, who has played for Maharashtra in domestic tournaments
Deshpande and Gaddamwar had a cricket theme for their engagement with their rings on a cricket ball. The couple is planning to get married later this year
Tushar and Nabha wore traditional outfits at their engagement. Nabha chose to wear a peach and golden color saree while the Tushar twinned in a peach floral color sherwani
The Mumbai cricketer has so far played 29 first-class matches and 34 List A Games apart from 59 T20Is. In these, the bowler with tight length managed to scalp 80, 35 and 83 wickets respectively. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in 2016-17 Ranji Trophy
Deshpande had earlier mentioned that he listens to MS Dhoni like a soldier and is convinced that the legendary captain won't take him on a wrong path. "You know you have someone who will guide and show the light when things are not going in our favour. He is a selfless guy and keeps things simple," Deshpande said after CSK lifted IPL 2023 trophy
Even after having a disastrous outing in IPL 2022 when he played just two games, Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni retained the bowler in IPL 2023. The main cause of concern for him in IPL 2022 was leaking of runs
Tushar Deshpande hogged the limelight right in the IPL 2023 season opener, becoming the first Impact player substitute in the tournament’s history. However, he failed to make an impact in the game against the Gujarat Titans before hitting his stride
