In a heartwarming and private ceremony, former Olympic javelin champion Neeraj Chopra has revealed his marriage to Himani Mor, a rising tennis star. The announcement came on Sunday via a social media post from Chopra himself, where he shared intimate moments from the wedding, held in Himachal Pradesh with just 40-50 close family and friends in attendance.

Who is Himani Mor?

Himani Mor, 25, hails from Sonipat, Haryana, and has made her name as a dedicated tennis player. She began her tennis journey at a young age and achieved notable success on both national and international stages. One of her major achievements includes winning a gold medal at the World Junior Tennis Championship in Malaysia in 2016. Her school, Little Angels School, laid the foundation for her love for sports.

Currently, Himani is pursuing a Master’s degree in Sports Management at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, USA. She has a background in Political Science and Physical Education, having completed her undergraduate degree at Delhi’s prestigious Miranda House.

Her passion for tennis has not gone unnoticed in India. Mor has competed at national events, representing Delhi University, and participated in the 2017 World University Games in Taipei.

Peter Siddle, the veteran Victorian pace bowler, has executed a dramatic U-turn, signing a one-year contract extension with the Melbourne Stars for BBL|15. This surprising decision comes just weeks after the 40-year-old announced his retirement from all forms of cricket following the conclusion of the current summer. However, a compelling BBL|14 season, marked by strong performances and crucial leadership, proved too tempting to resist.

Siddle’s impact on the Stars this season has been undeniable. He leads the team in wickets with an impressive 11, showcasing his enduring skill and competitive spirit. Beyond the statistics, his influence extends far beyond the pitch. Melbourne Stars General Manager Blair Crouch praised Siddle’s unwavering dedication to fitness and his consistently high-level performance. “Peter is a credit to himself and a great example to all players in his preparation,” Crouch stated.

Crouch further highlighted Siddle’s invaluable contributions off the field. “He’s not only a great performer on the field but has been a wonderful support to both the coaching staff and leadership group, as well as a great mentor for our younger bowlers,” he added. This mentorship role has become increasingly significant for the Stars, benefiting their younger players immensely.

Siddle himself expressed his excitement about returning to the Stars. “It’s great to sign on for another year,” he said in a club statement. “I’ve really enjoyed my time in BBL|14, and whatever the result today, I feel like there’s a really strong platform to build on for sustained success. I can’t wait to play a few more games at the MCG next season.” The MCG, a familiar and beloved venue, will once again witness Siddle’s fierce bowling.

The Stars, after a shaky start losing their first five matches, have rallied, winning their last four and setting up a crucial must-win match against the Hobart Hurricanes to secure a finals berth. Siddle’s return breathes new life into their playoff hopes, adding an experienced hand and seasoned leadership to their campaign. His decision to delay retirement underscores not only his continued excellence but also his deep commitment to the Melbourne Stars.
