The wedding of star Indian women's cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palash Muchhal has been postponed indefinitely after her father Shrinivas fell ill in the lead-up to the ceremony, which was scheduled to take place here on Sunday. Mandhana's father has been a constant source of support in her cricketing journey.

Mandhana's family doctor Dr Naman Shah said: "At around 1.30 pm, Mr Srinivas Mandhana got left-sided chest pain, we call it ‘angina' in medical term. As the symptoms surfaced, his son called me, we sent ambulance, he was shifted to hospital. We found out in ECG, other reports, that cardiac enzymes are elevated, hence we need to keep him in observation," he told PTI.

"Blood Pressure is also elevated, efforts are on to lower it. If situation exacerbates, we will have to do angiography. Smriti and her family is in contact with us, hopefully he will be stable by tomorrow," he added.
