Gautam Gambhir is right up there as one of the greatest players in the history of Indian cricket. While his international records need no introduction, Gautam also made his mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Kolkata Knight Riders. He is only the fifth cricketer in IPL's history to win it both as a manager and mentor. It was back in 2019 when Gautam Gambhir received the prestigious Padma Shri Award from the Government of India.
At the peak of his career, Gautam Gambhir was one of the most explosive batsmen in the world of cricket. One can understand this, by the fact that he has scored 5,238 runs in just 147 ODI matches. In the final of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup between India and Sri Lanka, it was Gautam Gambhir, who single-handedly turned the match in India's favour. In 122 balls, he scored 97 runs and formed crucial partnerships with Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

With a massive fan-following of 182K followers on her Instagram handle, Natasha never skips a chance to win everyone's hearts with her stunning family pictures. Not much is known about Natasha's profession, but as per multiple reports, she has a thing for jewellery designing.
Despite being one of the greatest players in the history of Indian cricket, Gautam Gambhir never let his fame and stardom affect his personal life. The legendary cricketer always kept his family away from the media spotlight, which is the prime reason why there's not enough information about the couple's history in the public domain.
Returning to their love story, Gautam Gambhir and Natasha Jain's fathers are businessmen and have been friends for a long time. Due to their friendship, their children, Gautam and Natasha got to know each other. After meeting each other, they instantly became friends.
After knowing each other for many years, Gautam Gambhir and Natasha Jain started dating. The lovebirds were taking it slow, and soon after being in a relationship for some time, Gautam and Natasha got engaged. After a span of almost one year, Gautam and Natasha got married in October 2011.
As per multiple reports, Gautam Gambhir and Natasha Jain's wedding took place in Gurgaon. It was an intimate wedding. Years after their wedding, Natasha opened up about her wedding with Gautam and shared details about their families' backgrounds. She said:
"We'd known each other, been friends for 2-3 years, and then we decided to get married. Our families had also known each other for the last 30 years, our fathers knew each other, and then we became friends. We both decided (to get married) first and then took our parents' consent. We'd been engaged for about a year before marriage."

Moving on to the things that made Gautam Gambhir and Natasha Gambhir fall in love with one another, Natasha was impressed by Gautam's humility. Despite being such a massive figure in the cricket world, Gautam is a really sought-after guy in his personal life, and this is something that made Natasha fall in love with him.
When it comes to Natasha's qualities that made Gautam Gambhir fall in love with her, it was her simplicity and the fact that she was not a fan of cricket. The couple never discusses cricket at home; it is a strict family policy that Gautam made to strike a balance between his personal and professional lives.

After Gautam Gambhir and Natasha Jain got engaged, the former laid a condition in front of his fiancee for marriage. The condition was that Gautam would only tie the marital knot with Natasha after the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Natasha accepted Gautam's condition, and the couple got married on October 29, 2011, after India won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.
The stunning couple welcomed a baby girl, Aazeen Gambhir in May 2014 and another daughter, Anaiza Gambhir, in June 2017. We hope Gautam continues to lead a happy married life with his wife and daughters and also keeps on climbing new ladders on his professional front.
