The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has just begun on March 31, 2023, and Indian cricketer K L Rahul and Bollywood actor and Suneil Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty made headlines for months as they tied the knot recently.

Though one of our most and constant favourite couples has been Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, there are several cricketers and Bollywood actors who fell in love with each other and eventually ended up marrying. From Kohli, Yuvraj and Zaheer Khan to K L Rahul and Pandya, here’s how the love story between Bollywood and Indian cricket goes on.

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma

The couple met on the set of a shampoo ad in 2013 and began dating soon after. After going through quite some rough patches both in the relationship and their career especially Kohli’s, the Royal Challengers Bangalore captain tied the knot with the Bollywood actor in December 2017 in a dreamy destination wedding in Italy. The couple, who still make heads turn wherever they go and make headlines, has a daughter together named Vamika who just turned 2 years and a couple of months.

However, the couple made it official in 2021 on Shetty’s 29th birthday as he wished the actor with a post captioned “Happy birthday my ❤️@athiyashetty”
