Kolkata IPL team spinner Varun Chakravarthy marries long-time girlfriend Neha Khedekar

Varun Chakravarthy has had a fruitful year on both professional and personal fronts. The spinner made a significant impact for the Kolkata IPL team in the 13th edition of the cash-rich league and cemented his place in the playing eleven with consistent outings.

However, the cricketer has yet another special reason to cherish 2020.
