The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) recently bought Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting at his base price of ₹75 lakh at the IPL auction. The Australian is seen as a potential backup to all-rounder Andre Russell. With his stint with the KKR team 2021, Cutting is set to start yet another new journey.

Last month, Cutting married Holland in Byron Bay, New South Wales, at Elements of Byron’s Heart of the Bay. The duo was set to tie the knot last year but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their wedding was postponed twice. Notably, Cutting and Holland had announced their engagement a couple of years ago and they had also informed their fans about the same on their respective social media handles.

The official Instagram handle of the KKR team 2021 took to Instagram and posted an endearing video to welcome Ben Cutting and Erin Holland to the KKR family. The video is from their wedding where both are seen dancing together as they start their journey as a wedded couple. Here is the video -

As soon as the video was uploaded, it was showered with a lot of love by KKR fans. Several reactions poured in as fans congratulated the couple on their wedding. Among many reactions, one was from Ben Cutting's wife, who had a rather hilarious take on the video. In her comment, Erin Holland thanked KKR for the welcomed and expressed her happiness at being a part of the franchise. She also hilariously requested the franchise to teach Cutting some better dance moves.
