Smriti is the second child of Shrinivas Mandhana, and Smita Mandhana, her parents, who have always stood by her supporting her dreams.
She has an elder brother, Shravan Mandhana, who also played state-level cricket for Maharashtra before becoming a private bank branch manager in Sangli. He also runs a cafe SM-18, an ode to his sister's jersey number.
This adorable throwback picture of the two siblings and their parents showcases their close bond and love.
Smriti is believed to be very close to her father Shrinivas Mandhana, who was a district-level cricketer for Sangli and later worked as a chemical distributor.
Smriti's father passed his passion to the ace cricketer and her brother and guided her in her career.
Smriti Mandhana’s mother, Smita Mandhana, managed the household and always stood beside her offering her complete emotional support for the games.
This picture proves Smriti gets her gracefulness and charm from her mother, who never leaves a chance to be there for her daughter.
Smriti often celebrates festivals like Diwali and more with her family, including her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
Smriti is also very fond of her nephew, Shravan's son, Hrinay. She never misses a chance to fulfil her aunt duties and pamper the little one.
When she is back home in Sangli, SMriti makes sure to enjoy her time with her family, making the most of the little moments.
The family is always there for each other through thick and thin, and never miss a chance to come together and enjoy quality family time.
