Sourav Ganguly

Known to be one of the greatest skippers to emerge from India, the Kolkata-based cricketer was in the news for his speculated relationship with Bollywood actress Nagma. The duo had become the talk of the town in the late 1990s. According to Reuters, they were often spotted together during the 1999 Cricket World Cup. However, neither of the personalities involved confirmed or denied being in a relationship with the other. Many years later, Nagma was quoted revealing the reason for their breakup, citing that ‘there was a career at stake.’

Sachin Tendulkar

The batting icon was also speculated to be in a relationship with Shilpa Shirodkar. The model-turned-actress is said to be with Sachin Tendulkar for a short time. Both hailed from Maharashtra and were said to have bonded over their similar cultures and values, which made media agencies speculate about their relationship. Questions were raised, with the rumours continuing for some time after Tendulkar married Anjali Mehta. However, the reports went completely dead after Tendulkar denied the rumours of being with Shirodkar.

Ravi Shastri

The former coach of the Indian cricket team is claimed to have been in a relationship with Saif Ali Khan’s ex-wife Amrita Singh. He has also been associated with Nimrat Kaur. According to sources, the duo have been speculated to be in a relationship after they arrived for a car launch event together. The couple is said to be hiding their relationship for the last few years. However, neither of them has made an official statement about it. 

Vinod Kambli

According to various reports, Vinod Kambli had an affair with a fashion model named Andrea Hewitt while being married to Novella Lewis, his first wife. His affair with Hewitt led to the cricketer divorcing Novella Lewis. Currently, he is speculated to be happy with the fashion model.

Murli Vijay

Murali Vijay’s affair with Dinesh Karthik’s wife Nikita Vanjara has been well-known to the public. The veteran wicketkeeper learned about his wife’s affair with Vijay in 2012 during a Vijay Hazare Trophy match. It led to Karthik divorcing his then-pregnant wife while Vijay married Vanjara soon after. Despite the ill-spirited controversy, neither has made any divisive remarks about the other. Later on, Karthik married Deepika Pallikal, India’s national squash player.
