Indian cricketers and their ’rumoured’ girlfriends

Mangalore Today News Network

Jasprit Bumrah and Anupama Parameswaran: Rumours of the Indian speedster going out with the Southern actress have been doing the rounds for a while. Just before the World Cup, Anupama came out and said that she and Bumrah were "just good friends".

Hardik Pandya and Urvashi Rautela: The grapevine had it that Urvashi and Hardik were more than ’just friends’. However, the Bollywood actor vehemently denied their link up and asked the media to report responsibly as such stories create problems and she has a "family to answer to". The actor was also quite miffed when Hardik, replying to host Karan Johar, said that he would kill Urvashi, hook up with Esha Gupta and marry Parineeti Chopra.

KL Rahul and Akansha Ranjan: Of late, Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt’s best friend Akansha Ranjan has been linked to India’s star opener KL Rahul. If rumours are to be believed, these two have been inseparable since the last few months. When asked about his relationship status, KL Rahul told the the Bombay Times, "I have learnt to keep my personal life personal and not make it a thing to talk about. I am committed to cricket right now."

Yuzvendra Chahal and Tanishka Kapoor: Two years back, Chahal, while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, posted a picture on Instagram with the Kannada actress that read, "Happy birthday Tani (fatso)." The post put the cat among the pigeons with many thinking Tanishka to be Chahal’s girlfriend.

Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic: Hardik’s latest liason is the Serbian model, Natasa Stankovic, who is currently trying her luck in Bollywood. Hardik reportedly took Natasa to a family gathering and introduced her as his girlfriend.




Hardik Pandya and Esha Gupta: Love apparently blossomed between Hardik and the pretty starlet shortly after the cricketer parted ways with another Bollywood beauty, Elli Avram. The two reportedly met at a party and hit it off immediately. However, soon after Hardik got called out for his ’sexist’ remarks on the ’Koffee with Karan’ show, Esha denied all link up rumours, saying: "Who told you (Hardik Pandya) is my friend?".
