Listen, we have to give credit where it is due. Indian guys are pulling off the most epic proposals under the stadium lights, amidst the roar of the crowd and during cricket matches. It’s not a ‘grand’ gesture in the conventional sense. It’s no Eiffel Tower and flashmobs, but it is something – just a cheeky smile and a heartfelt confession. As the team plays on, love takes centre stage.
This is exactly what happened during a Big Bash League (BBL) match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A desi couple were enjoying the match when the camera panned towards an interviewer walking down the stands. He stopped to speak to the couple and when he was talking to the guy, he excused himself to take out a ring from his pocket and ask his girlfriend to marry him.
“I am a big Stars fan and she is a Renegades fan. But she loves (Glenn) Maxwell too and I am a Maxwell fan, so I just brought her here. It is a big occasion so I just want to put a ring on her,” he said.
The woman, on the other hand, is taken aback by this gesture and is left in shock. After the guy puts a ring on her, he kisses her forehead and hugs her. Here’s a look at a video capturing the incident:
What better place to propose than the @MCG? 💍
