India all-rounder Vijay Shankar on Thursday got married to his fiancee Vaishali Visweswaran at a ceremony in Chennai.

Shankar’s Indian Premier League franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad took to Instagram to share a picture from the wedding and sent their best wishes to the couple.

“Sending our best wishes to @vijay_41 on this very special day! May you have a happy and blessed married life,” read the caption.

The 30-year-old had announced his engagement on August 20 last year on Instagram, sharing a couple of pictures along with the emoji of an engagement ring.

Shankar, who was not part of the Indian team that toured Australia recently, has been retained by SRH for the next edition of the IPL. He made his India debut in T20Is against Sri Lanka in Colombo.

He made his international debut in the 50-over format the following year against Australia in Melbourne.

The all-rounder was also part of the Indian squad in the 2019 World Cup in England.
