This is the hottest talk of the town right now! Of late, the two have been spotted together on many occasions. From walking hand in hand in New Zealand to Virat coming to Anushka’s place after the last series – there are plenty of incidents to hit the headlines recently. While Anushka prefers to call Virat ‘just a friend,’ the cricketer proves there’s more to it by coming to her rescue on the recent lip surgery issue. Will they seal this relationship with matrimony? Let’s wait and watch.

2. Anushka Sharma & Suresh Raina
Apparently, leggy beauty Anushka Sharma has a thing or two for cricketers. Before dating Virat, she was seen with another cricketer, Suresh Raina. But even then, Anushka maintained they were ‘just friends.’

Another Bollywood beauty who got smitten by sport stars. Before marrying tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi, Lara dated American baseball player Derek Jeter for a short time. However, things ended quickly and we saw the former Miss Universe tie the knot with Bhupathi in 2011.

The lover boy of the cricket world had been the favourite of a couple of Bollywood beauties. First, he was in a relationship with Kim Sharma and then it was Deepika. But it was a short-lived love affair with DP, just before she started dating Ranbir.
