Malaika Arora, the Bollywood diva, had an eventful Sunday night that has set the internet buzzing. The actress was spotted at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, where she was seen cheering for Rajasthan Royals during their IPL 2025 match against Chennai Super Kings. However, it wasn’t just her presence at the match that got people talking. What really caught the eye of fans and netizens alike was Malaika’s company former cricketer and ex-RR coach Kumar Sangakkara.
Malaika’s Cricket Fever
Malaika Arora, dressed in a Rajasthan Royals jersey, looked completely in sync with the cricket fever that had gripped the stadium. She was seen fully immersed in the game, celebrating every exciting moment with enthusiasm. As a well-known personality and fashion icon, her appearance at the game wasn’t just a casual outing, but rather one that garnered attention. It was clear that Malaika had come to enjoy the match as a true cricket fan, and her energy at the stadium was infectious.
The Viral Video Sparks Speculation
While Malaika’s love for cricket was evident, it was her interaction with Kumar Sangakkara that quickly became the center of attention. A video showing the two of them enjoying the match together went viral in no time. As the clip made its rounds on social media, many fans began speculating about the nature of their relationship. “Are they dating?” fans began asking. The duo appeared to share an easy camaraderie, leading to the assumption that there could be more than just a friendly connection between them.
Are Malaika and Kumar Dating?
The speculation around their relationship intensified when people started discussing Malaika’s past. She was, of course, previously in a relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor, but their relationship ended amicably. With Kumar Sangakkara now in the frame, many fans began to wonder if Malaika had found love again, this time in the form of the former Sri Lankan cricketer.
However, neither Malaika nor Kumar has publicly commented on the rumors, leaving fans to imagine what might be brewing behind the scenes. Until then, the speculation remains just that speculation.

Kumar Sangakkara’s IPL Journey
Kumar Sangakkara, who has had a long and successful career in the IPL, is no stranger to Rajasthan Royals. He played a pivotal role as the team’s head coach for several seasons before transitioning to his current position as the director of cricket. His contribution to Rajasthan Royals has been invaluable. Sangakkara’s impressive IPL playing career also included stints with Punjab Kings, Deccan Chargers, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
A New Chapter for Rajasthan Royals
With the arrival of Rahul Dravid as the new head coach ahead of IPL 2025, it will be interesting to see how Rajasthan Royals perform this season. However, for now, it seems that Malaika Arora and Kumar Sangakkara’s public appearance has sparked as much excitement off the field as the action on it.
