The love story of Indian cricket star Ruturaj Gaikwad and his wife Utkarsha Pawar isn’t just about romance, it’s about shared passion and mutual support. While Gaikwad smashes sixes for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Team India, Utkarsha Pawar shines as an ace bowler for Maharashtra, and her recent performance has her husband beaming with pride.
Playing in the Women’s Senior One Day Trophy, Utkarsha delivered the most economical spell for her team against Uttarakhand, conceding just 24 runs in eight overs, including a maiden. Even more impressive, she chipped in with a crucial wicket.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, unable to contain his excitement, took to social media to celebrate his wife’s achievement. With a playful “Hi there serious!” he shared a snippet of her performance, showcasing her skill and dedication on the field.
This isn’t just a sweet moment between husband and wife. Ruturaj Gaikwad, a rising star in the men’s game, actively cheering on his wife’s cricketing pursuits sends a message of equality and encourages young girls to chase their cricketing dreams without hesitation.

The couple’s journey started long before this heartwarming Instagram post. They dated for years before tying the knot in a private ceremony last June. Utkarsha Pawar has always been Ruturaj Gaikwad rock as he helped CSK clinch their latest IPL title in 2023, and she even proudly posed with the trophy beside him.
Their story isn’t just about love and cricket; it’s about inspiring others to break stereotypes and celebrate dreams, both on and off the field. So, the next time you see Ruturaj Gaikwad smash a six, remember, there’s another Gaikwad out there, equally fierce and passionate, bowling her way into the hearts of cricket fans. And they’re both cheering each other on with every step of the way.
