Akash deep reveals why Kohli, Dhoni and Rohit skipped his wedding

VARANASI: Indian fast bowler Akash Deep has finally revealed why some of India’s biggest cricket stars, including Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, were absent from his wedding celebrations in Varanasi.

The 28-year-old cricketer recently tied the knot with Akshita Raj in a traditional ceremony attended by family members, close friends and relatives. Pictures and videos from the wedding quickly went viral across social media platforms, drawing attention from cricket fans across the country.

However, amid the celebrations, one question kept surfacing among fans and guests alike: why were Indian cricket icons Kohli, Dhoni and Rohit missing from the event?

The answer came during a light-hearted interaction at the wedding itself. A guest directly asked Akash Deep about the absence of the star trio, prompting laughter among those present.

Responding with a smile, the pacer joked that inviting such high-profile cricketing legends to Varanasi could have created logistical challenges for the event.

“If Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma had come, it would have been very difficult to conduct the wedding smoothly,” Akash Deep reportedly said. “The crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of them would have been enormous.”

His humorous response immediately drew laughter and applause from guests and has since become a talking point on social media.

Fans praised Akash Deep’s candid and witty explanation, with many agreeing that the presence of India’s most celebrated cricketers would likely have attracted thousands of supporters, making crowd management a serious concern.

The wedding itself was marked by traditional rituals, colorful decorations and joyful celebrations. Images circulating online show the couple dressed in elegant wedding attire while family and friends participated in the festivities.

Akash Deep has steadily established himself as one of India’s promising fast bowlers. Since making his mark in international cricket, he has represented India in 10 Test matches and claimed 28 wickets, earning recognition for his pace and consistency.

While cricket’s biggest names were not physically present at the ceremony, Akash Deep’s humorous explanation ensured that Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma still became part of the wedding conversation—much to the delight of fans following the celebrations online.
