One of the most popular sports in many nations, including India, is cricket. Cricket’s huge fan base and cultural significance have made it a platform for players to become well-known. However, due to their notoriety, a number of gifted athletes made news for their dating rumours in addition to their on-field accomplishments. There is a lot of conjecture on the private lives of these cricket celebrities, whether it is based on intimate social media interactions, public appearances, or subliminal clues provided by insiders.
The audience’s excitement for these purported romances is rising as their supporters nervously put together clues from matchday sightings, Instagram stories, and cryptic utterances.
So, here’s a look at five fresh romantic links that have set the cricketing world abuzz:
Cricket players are the subject of recent relationship rumours that are currently circulating online.
1. Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash
India recently defeated England in the Champions Trophy final. Yuzvendra Chahal also stole the show, even though Team India was the main attraction. Chahal, who is now going through a divorce with his ex-wife, Dhanashree, was recently seen with RJ Mahvash at the CT25 final. The leg-spinner’s divorce, which was already the focus of recurring rumours, gained even more attention after Mahvash’s social media post. The accusations regarding their relationship were intensified when another video revealed her match-day clothing.
RJ Mahvash has openly denied the rumours, but Yuzvendra Chahal has not addressed them. Mahvash responded to the allegations on social media following their appearance together in the CT25 final, dispelling the rumours about their relationship. She bemoaned how unfounded the rumours were and stressed that being spotted with a person of the other gender does not necessarily indicate a romantic relationship.
2. Shubman Gill and Avneet Kaur
The Champions Trophy this year sparked a lot of rumours. In addition to rumours about Yuzavendra Chahal, teenage batter Shubman Gill has also been the focus of these kinds of reports. Influencer-actor Avneet Kaur’s appearance attracted notice during the India vs. Australia match in the CT25 semi-final round. Shubman Gill has now been connected to her.
While Avneet was once linked to Raghav Sharma, Shubman Gill was previously linked to actress Sara Ali Khan and Sara Tendulkar, the daughter of renowned cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Fans teased Avneet after she shared pictures of herself at the stadium, referring to Gill as their “jiju” in the comments. Her post quickly gained popularity after going viral.
3. Hardik Pandya and Jasmin Walia
Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic just declared their divorce. Rumours concerning Hardik Pandya’s purported relationship with British singer and TV personality Jasmin Walia have surfaced since the split. When Walia was seen supporting Pandya at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai, speculation grew.
Additionally, Pandya and Walia shared photos from their Greek vacations around the same time, which further heightened suspicions about their relationship. The buzz intensified as their images, taken against the same Greek backdrop, went viral. Neither Pandya nor Walia, though, have acknowledged or addressed these rumours in public.
4. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Maddie Hamilton
Recently, Maddie Hamilton, a UK student, has been at the centre of relationship rumours involving young Indian cricket player Yashasvi Jaiswal. According to reports, the two have had a love relationship for around three years. Maddie has shown her support for Jaiswal by going to a few of his games.
She proudly wore an Indian jersey for India’s Test match against England in Hyderabad in 2024, marking her first significant public appearance. Maddie was regularly seen cheering Jaiswal and the Rajasthan Royals on in the stands during the IPL2024. Since then, there has been a lot of conjecture on social media over their potential relationship.
5. Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie Shine
Before divorcing his ex-wife, Australian national Ayesha Mukherjee, in 2023, former cricket player Shikhar Dhawan was involved in a contentious divorce process. But Shikhar appears to have at last found love again.
Sophie Shine, an Irish product consultant, has been linked to Dhawan. They were recently seen having fun together during the CT2025 India vs. Bangladesh match. Dhawan attempted to hide his face while being videotaped with Shine, indicating that he was uneasy with the cameras, according to some astute observations.
In the meanwhile, the pair had previously been spotted together. They were last seen at the airport in November 2024, according to reports. Dhawan also keeps an eye on Shine on social media. Fans and the media are left to speculate about the potential romance since Dhawan and Shine have not yet made any public statements about the nature of their relationship.
