PV Sindhu, the two-time Olympic champion is preparing to marry senior IT expert Venkata Datta Sai later this month in Udaipur. As the festive occasion approaches, the highly celebrated badminton player took a moment from her hectic schedule to personally extend an invitation to Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar for the wedding.

PV Sindhu and her soon-to-be husband Venkata Datta Sai visited Sachin Tendulkar’s residence in Mumbai to formally invite the cricket icon to their special day.

Sachin Tendulkar took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a picture alongside PV Sindhu and Venkata Datta Sai. He remarked, “In badminton, the score always begins with ‘love’ and your wonderful journey with Venkata Datta Sai guarantees it goes on with ‘love’ eternally.”

“Thanks for personally inviting us to celebrate your big day. Wishing you a lifetime filled with memories and countless joys! @pvsindhu1,” he added.

PV Sindhu mirrored Sachin Tendulkar’s post on her Instagram Story, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you very much. You are an incredible source of motivation for both of us.”

Reception scheduled for December 24

Previously, PV Sindhu’s father shared with news agency PTI that the arrangement was finalized only a month ago, as both families preferred to complete the festivities this month given the busy schedule Sindhu has starting January 2025.

“The two families were acquainted but it was merely a month ago that everything was settled. This was the only feasible time frame since her schedule will be demanding from January,” Sindhu’s father PV Ramana told PTI.

He further elaborated, “Thus, the two families opted to hold the marriage ceremony on December 22. The reception is set for Hyderabad on December 24. She will commence her training shortly after, as the next season is crucial.”

Venkata Datta Sai is an executive director at Posidex Technologies. The wedding events will commence on December 20, 2024.

Recently, PV Sindhu claimed the women’s singles titles at the Syed Modi International badminton tournament. Sindhu ended her long wait for a title by defeating China’s world number 119 Wu Luo Yu 21-14, 21-16 to secure the trophy for the third time.
