Young Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma is making headlines, but this time not because of his extraordinary batting performance. The rising cricketer has surprised everyone by prioritising his professional career over an important family event. Reportedly, Abhishek Sharma did not attend the wedding ceremony of his sister, Dr. Komal Sharma, on October 3, 2025, because of his professional commitments.

The reason why Abhishek Sharma has skipped his sister’s wedding

Abhishek Sharma is currently in Kanpur, where India A is hosting Australia A in an unofficial ODI series. The cricketer will be on the field in the second match, after India secured a win over Australia in the opening match. Abhishek chose to be a part of the squad and decided to skip the celebrations at his home in Amritsar.

However, the cricketer made his presence in the pre-wedding festivities before heading to Kanpur for the match. He attended the Haldi and Mehendi ceremonies in Ludhiana. Moments from the festivities went viral on social media, where Abhishek was seen enjoying, dancing, and celebrating the ceremonies while radiating happy and positive energy through his dance moves. His mentor, Yuvraj Singh, also attended the event, making it a memorable experience.

Abhishek's sister, Dr. Komal Sharma, tied the knot with businessman Lovish Oberoi in an intimate wedding in Amritsar. After the ceremony, she said, “It feels amazing. This is such a great day for me, I am tying the knot today. I am very happy and excited. I am missing my brother.” For the unversed, Komal is 5 years older than Abhishek. She is a qualified physiotherapist with a Masters in Orthopaedics.
