Cricket and cinema in India often cross paths both for fans and professionals. Amidst several successful couples with background in cricket and cinema, talks of another celebrity couple are popping up amidst Indian cricket enthusiasts. This time it’s between India’s star-spinner Kuldeep Yadav and daughter of a famed Bollywood actress.

Kuldeep Yadav in love?

The 30-year-old spin sensation has been in the NCA for rehabilitation af?ter a successful groin surgery in Germany. While the Indian spinner has been eyeing for a comeback in the team ahead of the T20I and ODI series against England, fans have noticed a rather unusual activity from him on social media platforms.

Speculations are there that Kuldeep has been secretly involved in a romantic relationship with star-kid Rasha Thadani. She is the daughter of famous Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon and will begin her acting career with Ajav Devgn starrer ‘Azaad’ which will be in cinemas this month. The 19-year-old actress has shared the screen with seasoned Bollywood celebrities like Diana Penty and Piyush Mishra.

Apart from her debut film, Rasha is also a recent internet sensation and is widely popular on social media platforms. Kuldeep, has been engaging with her Instagram posts clandestinely liking the content which she posts as a gesture of her appreciation for Rasha. Fans hav?e noticed Kuldeep liking her posts more often than usual which is the reason why speculation of something betwee?n the two has been heating up.

Fans await an update on Kuldeep’s recovery

While fans wait for a confirmed report on a possible angle between Kuldeep and Rasha, news about Kuldeep’s recovery from the NCA is equally awaited. The Indian ace spinner was last seen in October during the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru i?n which he took th??ree wickets and bowled 18.3 overs.

While his groin surgery was successful, Kuldeep is yet to bowl again in the nets after the surgery. A positive update on his fitness will be a huge boost for the Indian camp which came after a series defeat against Australia in BGT 2024-25. A long season of white-ball cricket is still ahead of the Indian team with T20I and ODI series against England and Champions Trophy 2025 on the line.

KL Rahul, the Indian wicketkeeper-batter, has requested a break from the upcoming limited-overs series against England. This decision comes after a demanding cricketing schedule, particularly following his participation in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar ??Trophy in Australia. Reports confirm that while Rahul will skip the series starting on January 22, he remains available for selection for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to begin on February 19 in Dubai.

Reasons for the break

Rahul’s request for a break appears to be a strategic move aimed at preserving his fitness and form ahead of a crucial tournament. He was one of the standout performers during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, scoring 276 runs across ten inni??ngs, making him the third-highest run-scorer for India in the?? series. Despite his contributions, which included two fifties, India faced a disappointing 3-1 defeat in the series.

A BCCI source indicated that Rahul’s decision to opt out of the England series is more about rest than being dropped from the squad. “He has sought a break for the England series, but he will be available for selection for the Champions Trophy,” the source told PTI. This aligns with the selectors’ long-term plans, as Rahul is considered a vital player for India’s campaign in the Champions Trophy.

There are also reports that Rahul’s wife and Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty is pregnant and may give birth to a baby?? i??n the coming weeks.

Details of the England series

India’s home series against England consists of five T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals (ODIs). The ODIs are particularly important as they represent India’s only ODI series before heading into the Champions Trophy.

The first T20I will take place in Kolkata on January 22, followed by ODIs from February 6 to 12. Rahul’s absence raises questions about India’s middle-order batting lineup, especially with strong competition from players like Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson, both of whom are also vying for spots in t?he Champions Trophy squad.

As Rohit Sharma faces criticism over his batting form, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has stood in solidarity, defending the Indian captain against rising speculation regarding his future.

Rohit Sharma’s bold decision to step aside

Rohit’s decision to opt out of the fifth Test came amid mounting criticism over his poor form in the BGT against Australia, where he managed just 31 runs across three Tests. Many pundits had questioned his place in the squad, with calls for a change in leadership gaining momentum. Explaining his choice, Rohit clarified that he was neither dropped nor rested but voluntarily stood down to allow in-form players, such as Shubman Gill, to step up for the crucial match. “It was about the team, not me. I wasn’t performing, and I felt the team needed someone in better form,” Rohit remarked in an interview.

Meanwhile, in a tightly contested encounter, Australia registered a 6-wicket victory over India in the 5th Test at Sydney as they managed to chase down the target of 162 runs, finishing at 162/4 in their second innings. Usman Khawaja (41) and Travis Head (34) anchored the chase, while Scott Boland’s 6-wicket haul played a pivotal role in restricting I??ndia to 157 in their second innings.

Recent rumours have been circulating about former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, fuelled by viral photos allegedly suggesting that the two are in a rel??ationship.

Shikhar Dhawan’s retirement and personal life

Shikhar Dhawan, nicknamed as ‘Gabbar’ by Indian cricket fans, announced his retirement from all forms of the game in August this year. Having captained Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2022 to 2024, Dhawan faced challenges including injuries and being dropped from the national squad prior to the 2023 World Cup. His personal life has also been in the spotlight following his divorce from Aesha Mukerji in 2023, which has led to va??rious dating rumours since their separation began ?in 2020.

Dhawan’s viral pictures with Huma Qureshi

The speculation about Dhawan dating Huma intensified after images purpor?tedly showing them together surfaced on social media.

These photos were widely shared, leading many to believe that ??the two are in a relationship. Some sources even suggested that they might be married, capitalizing on the intrigue surrounding their supposed connection.

Upon closer examination, it has been confirmed that the images circulating online are AI-generated and manipulated. Neither Shikhar nor Huma has publicly acknowledged any romantic involvement. In fact, Huma is reportedly dating her acting coach, Rachit Singh, with whom she was seen at a wedding earlier this year. The viral images are part of a gr??owing trend where artificial intelligence is used to create misleading narratives about public figures.

Professional collaboration between Shikhar and Huma

Dhawan and Qureshi’s connection stems from their professional collaboration in the movie Double XL, where the left-handed batter made a ??special appearance. While this collaboration sparked interest a??mong fans and media, it does not imply any personal relationship beyond their professional engagement

Post-retirement, Dhawan is focusing on his career in f??ranchise leagues other than IPL and spending quality time with his son Zoravar, who resides in Australia. His social media presence reflects a more relaxed lifestyle as he shares updates about his travels and personal growth.

Bollywood actor and self-proclaimed movie critic Kamaal R. Khan (KRK), infamous for his provocative and controversial statements, has once again sparked outrage. This time, he targeted Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Bollywood actress and choreographer Dhanashree Verma,?? in a tweet that fueled ongoing rumors about their alleged divorce.

Provocative tweet sparks separation rumors of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma

Indian spin bowler Chahal and renowned choreographer and social media influencer Dhanashree, who tied the knot in August 2020, have recently become the center of widespread speculation. Known for their engaging social media presence, particularly Dhanashree’s popular dance videos on YouTube, the couple is rumored to be facing marital challenges. While no official confirmation of their separation has been made, the rumors have captured significant attention from fans and media alike.

KRK added fuel to the fire with a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) saying he had foreseen the couple’s alleged separation. He said that he predicted the divorce of Chahal and Dhanashree at the time of their marriage. He described Chahal as unattractive and Dhanashree as very attractive, asserting that their marriage was a mistake on Chahal’s part. This blunt and insensitive statement has drawn widespread criticism for its derogatory tone and lack of evidence.

When Cricketer Chahal got married with Actress Dhanashree Verma, then only I predicted about their divorce. And finally, they are separated. Chahal looks like a Maha Lukka and Dahnashree i?s a very hot girl. So Chahal was 100% wrong to marry her?.
