The meme stated that Smriti destroyed the Delhi Capitals bowlers in the finals, hitting runs out of the park, as if she had seen the face of her ex in each of the opposing players.

One of the posts Smita reshared spoke about how Smriti showed resilience in the face of adversity. It read, “They never saw the nights you cried in silence, one and a half months of storms within. Battles fought where no crowd claps, where strength is born quietly, unseen.. Trolls screamed loud, tried to dim your fire, questioned your worth, your every move. But you chose grace over noise, And let your bat speak the truth..”
It added, “But courage stitched into every stride. You didn’t just play the game- You led, you rose, you inspired…Today you weren’t just outstanding, you were unbreakable, fierce, free. You didn’t survive the storm, Smriti, you became what strength looks like to me.”

What happened between Palash and Smriti?
Palash and Smriti had been dating for years and were set to tie the knot on November 23. However, a day before the wedding, the media was informed that the wedding had been called off due to Smriti’s father’s ill health. However, later, allegations surfaced accusing Palash of cheating on Smriti just a day before the wedding.
Earlier, Vidnyan Mane, who claimed to be a childhood friend of Smriti Mandhana, made serious allegations against Palash and told Hindustan Times, “I was at the wedding celebrations (November, 23, 2025) when he was caught red-handed with another woman in bed. It was a terrible scene. he was beaten up by the Indian female cricketers. The entire family is chindi chor. I thought he’d get married and settle in Sangli, but it has completely backfired on me.”
