Cricketers receive recognition and acclaim for their on-field exploits, but their personal lives frequently make headlines. Many cricket players have experienced difficult times in their marriages over the years, which have led to divorces. Let's be honest: even for celebrities who appear to have it all, divorce is difficult. Here are some examples of other Indian cricket players who separated or divorced their spouses.
1. Hardik Pandya
Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya and his wife Natasa Stankovic startled their fans and admirers by announcing their amicable divorce after four years of marriage, following months of rumours that their marriage was troubled. Nonetheless, the ex-couple appears to get along well, especially for their son Agastya.
2. Shikhar Dhawan
The romance between Melbourne-based kickboxer Ayesha Mukherjee and Shikhar Dhawan was nothing short of a fantasy. Ayesha won the cricketer over even though she was a divorced mother of two. But in 2021, the pair declared their separation after almost ten years of marriage and the birth of their son, Zoravar.
3. Dinesh Karthik
In 2007, Dinesh Karthik married Nikita Vanjara, an old friend from his younger days. The marriage lasted only five years and turned dirty when Nikita's affair with fellow cricket player Murali Vijay was made public. After falling in love again, the cricket star married squash player Dipika Pallikal on August 18, 2015, and the two welcomed twin boys, Zian and Kabir, on October 18, 2021.
4. Mohammad Shami
When Hasin Jahan accused Mohammed Shami of adultery and domestic violence in 2018, the couple's marriage took a sharp turn for the worse. Despite Shami's denials, the claims sparked legal disputes and public mudslinging. Even though the couple is still apart, their story is still among the most acrimonious public disputes in Indian cricket.
5. Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri, a former Indian cricket player and head coach, was married to Ritu Singh, a buddy from his youth. Together, they have a daughter named Aleka Shastri. However, 22 years later, in 2012, Ravi Shastri and Ritu Singh separated; the pair has not disclosed the cause of their split.
