India batter Smriti Mandhana on Sunday announced that her wedding had been called off and urged fans and media to stop the speculation, while music composer Palash Muchhal confirmed that he had "decided to move on" from the relationship.

Muchhal also warned of legal action against those spreading defamatory rumours. Mandhana issued her first public statement on social media after rumours about her personal life had intensified over the past month.

She was supposed to marry Muchhal on November 23 but the wedding was postponed after her father was hospitalised with an heart ailment.
