Karnataka fast bowler Vyshak Vijaykumar wed his longtime friend Sagarika on March 5 in a private ceremony in Bengaluru. Sandalwood actor Kichcha Sudeep attended the event, adding glamour to the celebrations. The wedding comes as Vyshak continues to rise in domestic and IPL cricket.
Vyshak Vijaykumar, a promising pacer from Karnataka, began a new phase in his personal life by marrying Sagarika at the Main Palace in Bengaluru. The ceremony on Thursday, March 5, was attended by close family members, friends, and figures from the cricket world. Kichcha Sudeep's presence highlighted the event's significance, as he offered blessings to the couple.
Born on January 31, 1997, in Bengaluru, Vyshak initially pursued batting and even captained Karnataka's Under-16 team. He later transitioned to fast bowling, a change supported by his father, who quit his job to focus on his son's career. This determination has paid off, with Vyshak securing over 100 wickets in first-class cricket for Karnataka. He is recognized as a death-over specialist, capable of striking in powerplays and slog overs.
Vyshak entered the Indian Premier League in 2023 with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, starting as a net bowler before earning a spot in the main squad. In his debut match, he claimed three wickets, impressing fans and selectors. His performances led to a major breakthrough at the IPL 2025 auction, where Punjab Kings acquired him for ₹1.80 crore. Recently, he represented India on the tour to South Africa.
The wedding has drawn congratulations from fans and the cricket community on social media, celebrating Vyshak's achievements both on and off the field.
