Bangladeshi cricketer Sanjida Islam has wowed everyone, not just with her sports prowess but with her wedding look that’s now gone viral.
The 24-year-old recently got married to fellow cricketer Mim Mosaddeak who plays for the National Cricket League.
To honour her love for the game, Sanjida took to the field in Rangpur Stadium in Bangladesh wearing traditional wedding attire.
People couldn’t get over Sanjida’s look which included a saree and traditional jewellery around her head, neck, and wrists.
Sanjida even had time to bat a few bowls for a stunning wedding photoshoot.
The pictures have since been shared widely on social media, including by the International Cricket Council.
Many said the young cricketer was inspiring and added she looks amazing.
Husband Mim also shared the images on his Instagram, where his new wife’s sporty wedding look received thousands of likes.
Mim added that the look was part of a ‘holoud special’, referencing a pre-wedding event for South Asians.
Called the gaye holoud, the event is celebrated by Bangladeshis and in neighbouring Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam’s Barak Valley by Bengalis regardless of their religion.
The gaye holud can be a joint event for the bride and groom’s families, or it can consist of separate events for the bride’s family and the groom’s family, usually celebrated with henna.
In Sanjida and Mim’s case, it was celebrated together and commemorated with a bit of cricket.
Social media users loved the photoshoot, commenting in their droves.
One person wrote: ‘Huge respect for this passion. I think Bangladesh is the most passionate country for cricket.’
Another said: ‘Never before seen cricket being played wearing a saree!’ while a third added: ‘Awesome and inspiring. Passion is identity’.
Congrats to the happy couple.
