The star Indian opener Smriti Mandhana is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful players in the cricketing world in the current era of women cricketers. She was recently in action for India in the recently concluded one-off Test against Australia following the only Test against England. She was one of the star performers for India Women in the first-ever Test series win against Australia Women.
Meanwhile, Mandhana also attracted the eyeballs after her recent appearance in India’s famous quiz game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati”; during the show, she had to come through a very tough and tricky question and a surprise, the question was not a part of the game and didn’t come from the computer.
The question was asked by a young fan in the audience who asked Smriti Mandhana about her expectations regarding her future husband. The question attracted a big laugh in the house, including the host of the show and veteran Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan. Even Smriti Mandhana couldn’t resist an amazing reaction; she blushed and her game partner and young Indian wicketkeeper-batter, Ishan Kishan broke out in a laugh and his reaction also went viral over social media.
However, Smriti came up with a very sensible reply while answering a fan’s question about her future husband. The video of this moment also started making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared by a user over X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video of Smriti Mandhana answering a young fan:
