Utkarsha pawar

Utkarsha Pawar, the Maharashtra cricketer who has been in the headlines due to her recent wedding to India men’s cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad, has insisted that she will continue her quest to continue to improve as a cricketer and wear the India hat even after the marriage. “I will continue to play cricket for as long as I wish and as long as my body allows me. One can be 200 per cent sure about it, not just 100 per cent,” Utkarsha said in a freewheeling chat with ‘Coffee, Cricket Aani Barach Kaahi’, a Marathi cricket podcast.

Ever since Utkarksha and Ruturaj, the Chennai Super Kings and Maharashtra opener who will lead India at the Asian Games in September-October, tied the knot in Pune on June 3, Utkarsha has been in the news for off-the-field reasons.
