This cricket moment adds to a growing collection of personal snapshots from the couple's festivities from pool volleyball matches with friends to elegant, Japanese-inspired dinners, and now to field games that bring everyone together in laughter and competition.
The actors' wedding ceremony will take place at Mementos by ITC Hotels, Ekaaya Udaipur. On Sunday, the actor couple officially announced their wedding. Taking to their respective Instagram handles, Rashmika and Vijay wrote, "Our Dearest loves, Before we made any plans, before we chose anything for ourselves, you were already there. With so much love, you gave us a name. You called us 'VIROSH'. So today, with full hearts, we name our coming together in your honour. We would like to name it, 'The Wedding of VIROSH'. Thank you for holding us with so much love. You are a part of us, always. Biggest hugs and full love".

Finally some good news to read! After all the political noise, it's refreshing to see a celebrity wedding bringing people joy. The cricket theme is brilliant - brings back memories of playing gully cricket with cousins.
While I'm happy for them, I can't help but think about the scale of these celebrity weddings. The carbon footprint of flying everyone to Udaipur, the lavish setups... wish they'd promote simpler celebrations.
The personal touch of naming it "The Wedding of VIROSH" after the fans is really special. It shows they value their supporters. The cricket medals are such a thoughtful detail!
Udaipur is the perfect choice for a royal wedding feel. And including a sport like cricket makes it so relatable. Much better than those overly westernized celebrity parties. Desi touch for the win!
My timeline is full of their wedding prep! From the Japanese dinner to now cricket. It's like a mini reality show and I'm here for it. Can't wait for the 26th Feb pics! 🎉
