Clean bowled by Bollywood divas!

British origin actor Sofiya Hayat and cricketer Rohit Sharma have been spotted at various joints in town. This has set the gossip mills buzz nonstop. While we are not sure if they are dating, we are told they are pretty close friends. A flashback – Cricketers who were bowled over by B-town divas.

   

Anju Mahendru was engaged to Sir Gary Sobers for a brief while.

   

Four days before the British courts declared former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif guilty of match-fixing in November 2011, Veena Malik got a distress call from London telling her to immediately rush to the city to be with him. The actress reportedly shared a live-in relationship with him for one and a half years. Also on reality show Bigg Boss, Malik was quite forthcoming to share the ‘details’ of her relationship with the disgraced sportsman.

   

Yuvraj Singh: Deepika Padukone, Kim Sharma, Preity Zinta, Neha Dhupia, Anchal Kumar, Akshara Gowda, Ameesha Patel...
Yuvi is an all rounder both on and off the field. He was dating Kim Sharma initially, and the papparazi proclaimed them an item. It sure looked like a perfect love story for a long four years. Then, from somewhere out of the blue, Deepika Padukone's name popped in. During the IPL season 2, we saw Preity Zinta along with this dashing young King's X1 skipper. Then came a special invite to Ameesha Patel for the World Cup finals; but during a dinner bash he had Neha Dhupia on his arm. We then heard he was dating Anchal Kumar and then there was some Akshara Gowda. But yeah, you can pass it off as rumours

    

Even though the Prince of Kolkata wanted to keep his affair with Nagma under the wraps, it was one of the hottest affairs to have hit the headlines. Since he was married during that time, this flamboyant ex-skipper maintained the strict ‘no comments’ stand. And the affair died a natural death, or so we believe.

    

Sreesanth is controversy’s favourite child. He has a better average of hitting the headlines than his average bowling figures. Was he seeing Priyanka Chopra during one of the advertisement campaigns they did together? Or was it just another no ball from Sreesanth? We don’t know for sure. Sreesanth and Minissha Lamba strongly denied that they were not spending 'quality time' together during IIFA awards gala at Macau. Errr Shahzan Padamsee? Sree, is Shriya Saran history then? or is it Riya Sen?

    

Amrita Arora maintained a long distance relationship with cricketer Usman Afzal for four years before she married businessman Shakeel Ladak.

   

Unlike his collegeues, Zaheer Khan has been linked up to just one actress - Isha Sharvani. Isha had made her debut in ‘Kisna’ but her acting career was not going anywhere when she met Zaheer who totally bowled her over. A break up and reuion in 2011, and now we hear they are going to tie the knot.

    

Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh broke up last year after dating for a while. It was then rumoured that commitment issues forced them to call it quits. While Geeta wanted to settle down, but Bhajji wanted to focus on game then, and didn't want to get married for another 2-3 years. So both of them decided it didn't make sense for them to be together in the given scenario. Or are they just being quiet about it?

    

Ex-Indian skipper Mohammed Azzarudin hit the headlines when he got married to Sangeeta Bijlani.

    

Kapil Dev was one person Sarika fell for. The two were a pair for quite some time before Sarika married Kamal Hassan and Kapil Dev married Romi.
