The Indian Premier League (IPL) continues to witness remarkable stories of commitment, and one such instance has come from Sri Lanka‘s rising star, Kamindu Mendis. The all-rounder, who recently got married, chose to put his cricketing responsibilities first by joining Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the IPL 2025 season, even if it meant cutting short his honeymoon.
Kamindu Mendis prioritizes IPL over honeymoon
Kamindu tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Nishni, in March 2025, in a wedding that had been eagerly anticipated since their engagement last year. The arrangements were overseen by renowned wedding planner Pathum Gunawardana, who has managed ceremonies for several celebrities and cricketers.
Following the wedding, Kamindu and Nishni enjoyed a brief honeymoon at Haputale, a picturesque spot in Sri Lanka. However, they decided against an overseas trip as Kamindu had to quickly link up with SRH for the IPL season. His decision to prioritize cricket over a longer honeymoon has been praised by fans, highlighting his dedication to his team and the sport.
