In a special episode set to air on December 27, the Indian women’s cricket team will appear on a popular comedy show to celebrate their historic World Cup victory last month. The star-studded lineup includes captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh, Harleen Deol, Radha Yadav, and Pratika Rawal, along with their head coach Amol Mazumdar. However, the team’s celebrated batter Smriti Mandhana was noticeably absent from the promotional material, sparking widespread attention and concern among fans.

In the promo released ahead of the episode, the camaraderie and fun spirit among the players shine through. Kapil Sharma, the show’s host, shared light moments with the team—asking Harmanpreet about her bhangra dance moves after lifting the trophy. Jemimah Rodrigues revealed that Smriti Mandhana was the one who encouraged her to break into the dance, adding a personal touch to the celebration. Despite the lighthearted atmosphere, fans quickly noticed Smriti’s absence and expressed their feelings on social media, highlighting how much she is missed.

Smriti Mandhana recently called off her wedding with music composer Palash Muchhal, a development that has been followed closely by the public. Both Smriti and Palash have requested privacy to process this personal matter away from the limelight. Smriti took to her social media to confirm the wedding cancellation, stating her desire for privacy for both families and asking fans to respect their space during this difficult time.

The absence of Smriti from the team’s celebration show has prompted heartfelt responses from supporters, with many expressing how much they miss seeing her with the squad. Despite the personal challenges, the Indian women’s cricket team continues to inspire with their unity and extraordinary achievements on and off the field.

The full episode, featuring fun, banter, and insights from the team, will be aired on December 27. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see the heroes of Indian cricket share their stories and celebrations in a relaxed, entertaining setting.
