From Anushka Sharma to Mahieka Sharma: Inside the fashion playbook of wives and girlfriends of Indian cricketers at IPL 2026

The IPL has never been primarily about cricket, and this year’s showdown is proving that the real style playbook is unfolding off the pitch. While the players are sweating it out on the field, their lady lucks are cheering them on from the stands in stunning ensembles that surely require your attention. Let’s decode some looks of the fashionable wives and girlfriends of our Indian cricketers, who gave us almost runway-worthy looks.

Anushka Sharma’s fashion notes at IPL 2026 go beyond the predictable jerseys. At the RCB vs SRH match, she made headlines in a stunning floral top from Sézane, paired with faded barrel jeans by Sandri Paris. She soon then channelled a carefree and casual look, showing up in a plain black t-shirt with casual denim bottoms. Here, recent looks call out for summer, where she wore a pinstriped Sandro ruffle blouse with a high-rise white skirt, also picked from Sandro Paris’ collection.

Keeping a comfortable and breezy look, Sakshi proved how ethnics can be a go-to for any aesthetic and place. Supporting CSK from the stands, she wore a soft pink hand-woven mulberry silk kurta set from the label Surmaye, which cost Rs 16,500. It featured hand-painted magnolia flowers in full bloom with intricate stripes, looking subtle and elegant.

Model Hardik Pandya’s girlfriend, Maheika Sharma, attends the MI vs RCB match, where she kept a more beachwear aesthetic than a stadium one but neatly played the cards of comfort and sophistication. She wore an Ombré-hued straight-fit knitted maxi dress from Maje Paris, priced at Rs 44,683, and teamed it with a silver pair of kitten heels from Crimzon World worth Rs 5,500. But what stole the show was her Tie Me Small handbag, drenched in a beautiful blue shade from Moschino, which brought the whole ensemble together.
