Internet sensation Malaika Arora has been making headlines ever since she was spotted at the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. On Sunday photos and videos of Malaika cheering for Rajasthan Royals while wearing their official jersey went viral. However what truly caught fans attention were her pictures with the person sitting next to her which created a buzz online. Malaika sat close to Sri Lankan former professional cricketer Kumar Sangakkara as she enjoyed the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Sangakkara is known as one of the greatest wicket-keepers and batters in the history of cricket. In 2015 Kumar Sangakkara retired from cricket and began working as a commentator. He became the coach of Rajasthan Royals in IPL from 2021 to 2024. Malaika Arora sitting with Kumar Sangakkara . Something cooking ?

As reported by Hindustan Times Simply sitting next to someone doesnt imply they are dating. People should refrain from fabricating such baseless rumours. Kumar Sangakkara is married to Yehali Kumar Sangakkara and Yehali Sangakkara are a well-respected couple known for their strong bond and support for each other. She has been involved in charity work and business initiatives while maintaining a low profile in the media. Kumar and Yehali’s love story began years back when they were in school. They have twin children who were born in 2009 soon after he assumed the Sri Lanka captaincy.
