Flamboyant Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, 29, on Sunday finally lost the tag of being one of India’s most eligible bachelors, as he got married to a girl of his parents’ choice. After recently being linked with Asin, a Bollywood actress, Dhoni sprang a surprise by exchanging the sacred vows with Sakshi Rawat, who recently completed a hotel management course. Her father is an executive in a private company. The wedding was at Vishrant Resorts, a private farmhouse at Kandoli village near Dehra Dun, amid tight security. The marriage was a blend of Kumaoni and other Hindu traditions.
