Amidst the hectic schedule of the Indian Premier League, India and Delhi Daredevils pacer Umesh Yadav got formally engaged to Delhi based fashion designer Tania Wadhwa in a quiet ceremony in Nagpur on Monday.

Umesh, who is an important member of the Daredevils set-up took a day off from the team's training schedule in Bangalore to fly back home for the engagement.

The 26-year-old will marry Tania on May 29 once the IPL gets over. 

"We met in Delhi and then our friendship grew... and then I proposed her. We decided to get married after a year's courtship and our families agreed," Umesh said after the engagement ceremony.
