Shikhar Dhawan

Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan married his Irish girlfriend Sophie Shine on February 21, 2026, in Delhi-NCR. After his 2023 divorce from Aesha Mukherjee, with whom he was married for 11 years and shares a son named Zoravar, Shikhar found love again in Sophie. They met in Dubai years ago, and their friendship soon bloomed into romance. In May 2025, they made their relationship Insta-official, got engaged on January 12, and are now happily married!

Arun Lal

Veteran batsman Arun Lal defied age by tying the knot for the second time at 66 with Bulbul Saha - proving love knows no timeline. After mutual separation from his first wife Reena, Arun found companionship in Bulbul. They had a private wedding ceremony which marked a fresh chapter in his life, post-Test career highs and commentary stints. In a sport of comebacks, Arun's late-life romance reminds us: Heartbreak clears the crease for joy.

Yograj Singh

Yuvraj Singh's father, Yograj Singh, was also a cricketer. Yograj was earlier married to Shabnam Singh, Yuvraj's mother, but their marriage did not survive the test of time. Yograj remarried and lives with his second wife Satveer Kaur, as per reports.

Vinod Kambli

Former cricketer Vinod Kambli married Andrea Hewitt after his 1998 split from Noella Lewis. Once India's batting hope derailed by off-field chaos, Kambli found love and an anchor with Andrea. They also share a child.

Dinesh Karthik

Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik was earlier married to his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara, but they got divorced after her alleged affair with his teammate Murali Vijay. After going through a difficult phase in his life, Karthik found love again in squash champion Dipika Pallikal and they got married in 2015. The couple are now parents to twins - Kabir and Zian.
