Karnataka’s top fast bowler and Punjab Kings star Vyshak Vijaykumar launched his next chapter of career today when he wed Sagarika, his longtime partner, in a colorful traditional ceremony. Weddings took place at the 'Main Palace' in Bengaluru, a marauding feast of cultural heritage and star-studded sparkle filled with the cream of the cricketing world, all the way to members of Sandalwood royalty.
The 29-year-old speedster, famed for his ability to clock express speeds and a lucrative ₹1.80 crore signing by Punjab Kings, presented the classic groom in traditional white dhoti. He was completely complemented by Sagarika in an orange silk saree — classic Karnataka bride attire.
The Event Features Kiccha Sudeep in a Glamorous Affair
Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep came as the highlight of a show for many fans. Sudeep was a devoted supporter of Karnataka cricket, showing up in a pointed checkered kurta-pajama, bringing cinematic glamour to proceedings. Images of the actor embracing Vyshak for a warm, congratulatory embrace went viral, with fans lauding the "Sudeep-Anna" in person, while also receiving commendation from cricketers and supporters alike for being the state’s bowling spearhead.
Cricketing Brothers in Attendance
The wedding was a mini-reunion of the Karnataka domestic cast. Star batter Devdutt Padikkal was among the guests, as the other teammates and mentors in addition to Vyshak have been sharing notes and supporting the new team member who has turned around from a net bowler to a frontline IPL pacer.
The Punjab Kings franchise also issued their official congratulations over social media and welcomed Sagarika to the “Sadda Squad” family in a few weeks from now, as the IPL 2026 season begins.
From Batter Into a Pacer
Vyshak’s road to this is a tale of remarkable determination and determination. He began as a batter who captained the Karnataka U-16 team, then in a famous move reinvented himself as a fast bowler to disprove the critics. His breakout performance in the 2023 season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) – where he took 3 wickets on debut, put him firmly in the spotlight. Fans are hoping this “second innings in his private life” as he heads up the next time he plays for the Punjab Kings will only benefit his luck on the pitch.
