Malaika Arora’s latest outing has set tongues wagging. The 51-year-old actress was spotted at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, cheering on the Rajasthan Royals. But what caught everyone’s attention was her proximity to the team’s coach, Kumar Sangakkara.
The occasion was the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals on March 30. Malaika was seen wearing the RR jersey, sitting next to the team’s cricket director, who was sporting the same jersey. Kumar Sangakkara, the 47-year-old Sri Lankan cricket legend, has had a storied IPL career, playing for teams like Punjab Kings, Deccan Chargers, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
People are now wondering if there’s something brewing between Malaika and Sangakkara. After her breakup with Arjun Kapoor, the actress has been linked to several people, and now the cricket coach has joined the list. One user quipped, “Malaika Arora is sitting with Kumar Sangakkara. Something’s cooking. I don’t see any connection between the actress and RR, though.”
Malaika and Arjun are both single now. Arjun recently confirmed his single status and said he’ll announce his wedding plans when the time comes. Malaika, on the other hand, has kept mum about the breakup, calling herself a private person and keeping her personal life out of the spotlight.
It’s worth noting that Malaika’s presence at the match and her interactions with Sangakkara have sparked curiosity, but there’s no concrete evidence of a romantic relationship between the two. For now, fans will have to keep guessing about the nature of their connection.
