Super six: the most popular WAGs of Indian cricket
As we all know, cricket is more than just a sport in India. It is a way of life, with every ball bowled or batted upon being monitored by its billion-strong populace who are active in all forms of media.
Cricketers are treated as more than sporting superstars. They are thrusted into the spotlight, their every move being documented, including their personal relationships.
With that, SportsMania compiled the six most popular better halves of these athletes-cum-celebrities and why they are included here. This is just a random list, so if you want to suggest better options, hit us up.
Geeta Basra
Kicking off the super six of Indian cricket’s famous wives and girlfriends is the other half of the feared Harbhajan Singh. The Portsmouth-born Bollywood star has been loyal to the “Turbanator” for a long time, and their Punjabi roots are a perfect match for each other.
Married for seven years now, Geeta and Bhajji have a son and a daughter, and are living happily together.
Pratima Singh
Sports and love are inseparable, as the bowler Ishant Sharma has a legendary hoopster as his life partner.
Pratima Singh comes from a family of basketball players, so it is no surprise that she was looked upon as one of the poster girls of the game in the country. Sharma and Singh have been married together for the past six years.
Anushka Sharma
Safe to say, they are the power couple of all cricket power couples. Anushka and top-order batsman Virat Kohli is the sport’s version of football’s “Posh and Becks”.
Living up to that tag, Kohli and Sharma tied the knot in 2017 in a lavish ceremony in Italy. Four years later, they welcomed their firstborn daughter.
Isha Negi
Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant is on a relationship with multi-slash personality: Instagram influencer/entrepreneur/designer Isha Negi.
The couple tried their best to keep their relationship private. Nevertheless, they have been together for more than two years now.
Athiya Shetty
If there would be a successor to the Kohli-Sharma throne, it has to be the pair of Indian cricket team vice captain KL Rahul and the Bollywood superstar.
The matinee wicket-keeper was apparently matched to Athiya by her father Suniel Shetty, who is also famous in Bollywood. Rumor has it that they are already on their road to forever, as there are hints that they have already moved into their Mumbai home.
Ritika Sajdeh
Saving the best for last, we go now to the beau of India captain Rohit Sharma. Their interesting love story initially started as a professional relationship.
Ritika Sajdeh is his manager, taking care of his commercial endeavors on and off the cricket field. From endorsements to shoots, she is responsible for handling those so that he can focus on playing.
The pair duly professed their vows in 2015. They are blessed with a baby girl.
