Who is Varun Chakravarthy wife?

The year 2020 proved to be a fruitful one for KKR's mystery spinner. On the professional front, the cricketer made a significant impact in his first season with the Kolkata-based franchise in the cash-rich league. The crafty bowler claimed 17 wickets in the 13th edition of the T20 tournament and also finished the season as KKR's leading wicket-taker. Apart from his cricketing success, the player also tied the knot the same year with long-time girlfriend Neha Khedekar. 

The two were apparently dating for a very long period of time before getting married. Neha Khedekar was also seen cheering and supporting the cricketer on her social media during his matches prior to their wedding. The couple got married in a private ceremony in Chennai on December 11, 2020. Along with the player's family, his close friends were also present with him on the occasion. In a video shared by the franchise, the couple was also seen playing cricket, while their friends cheered them from the back. The spinner was bowling underarm deliveries to his wife.
