Neha, who is married to actor Angad Bedi, recalled the heartfelt moment she received the sweater as her wedding gift. “When I married Angad, I had my heart set on one particular piece of memorabilia. It’s not just a sweater; it’s a piece of history that embodies the spirit and legacy of Indian cricket. I asked for it as a wedding gift, and dad graciously obliged. To me, it represents resilience, excellence, and an eternal connection to the sport he loved so much,” she shared.

The sweater, adorned with the emblem of Indian cricket, was a symbol of pride for Bishan Singh Bedi, who wore it during several iconic matches. This year, Neha honored his memory by donning the sweater while attending a test match during India’s tour of Australia.

“Wearing this sweater has a different kind of warmth… I remember so clearly when dad asked what I’d like as a wedding present. I told him I wanted his test cricket sweater. It would be the most special gift for me, and he made it happen. Along with his strength, resilience, talent, and generosity, I now carry a sense of honor donning this while watching my first tour of India live. We miss you every day, dad…”
