Shoaib Malik to Glenn Maxwell: 7 international cricketers who married Indian women

The Sri Lankan spin wizard, who still holds the record for the most wickets in Test history, found his match off the field in Chennai. In 2005, Muralitharan married Madhimalar Ramamurthy, the daughter of a prominent medical family that owned Malar Hospitals, as per reports. Their union beautifully tied together two cricket-obsessed cultures, and they have built a remarkably stable, quiet life together with their son.
