Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni and his successor, Virat Kohli, are two of the biggest icons of cricket. While Dhoni is the only captain to win all three ICC tournaments, Team India has become a leading force under the leadership of Kohli.
Besides all the fame in the gentlemen’s game, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli’s off-the-field lives have also been interesting ones. Even before getting married to Sakshi Singh Rawat and Anushka Sharma, respectively, Dhoni and Kohli had plenty of lady luck by their sides.
So, here’s a combine list of 6 girls dated by MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli:
6. Deepika Padukone
As per a report in the IBTimes, MS Dhoni was rumoured to have fallen for Bollywood’s leggy lass Deepika Padukone in 2007. In fact, he had required enquired about her to Farah Khan, who was the director of Padukone’s debut film ‘Om Shanti Om’.
The report had also suggested that MS had sacrificed his love for buddy Yuvraj Singh, who was also fascinated by Deepika. To date, the rumours have neither been confirmed by the cricketers nor the actress.
5. Sanjjanaa Galrani
During the early days of his international career, Virat was hooked up with Kannada actress, Sanjjanaa Galrani. Both enjoyed playing Tennis and going for long drives with each other. However, none of these rumours were confirmed as their affair turned out to be a short one.
4. Raai Laxmi
Dhoni and South Indian actress Raai Laxmi met in 2008 when Dhoni along with Suresh Raina came to attend her birthday party. According to a report in India Today, the actress was infatuated by the former Indian skipper and she wanted to marry him.
The report also suggested that Dhoni and Raai Laxmi dated for a brief period of time in 2009. However, things went south and both ended up parting ways. Not only that, Raai Laxmi later suggested that her relationship with Dhoni was like a scar.
3. Tamannah Bhatia
Virat Kohli and Tamannah Bhatia met each other during an ad shoot of a popular smartphone brand and were said to be dating each other since then. Their relationship, however, didn’t get much recognition as it soon ended.
The reason for their breakup is believed to be another actress, who came in-between the couple in the early part of 2013. We will talk about that later.
2. Asin
A report in the Hindustan Times mentions a rendezvous between MS Dhoni and ‘Ghajni’ fame Asin. Interestingly, Asin found herself in a sticky situation when a newly married MS and his wife Sakshi were in the same hotel in Sri Lanka as her.
Though she did try to avoid the newly-wed couple, she bumped into Sakshi and Dhoni while leaving for work one day. She congratulated them left the scene immediately.
1. Izabelle Leite
Brazilian actress and model Izabelle Leite was the reason that forced Virat Kohli and Tamannah Bhatia to end their relationship. Talking about Virat and Izabelle, the pair had a pretty serious relationship in the early parts of 2013.
“Virat was one of the first Indian friends I had when I came to India. We were dating for quite a while. We were together for almost two years. But we didn’t want to make it public. So yeah, Virat and I did have a relationship,” Izabelle had said.
This post was such an interesting read! I had no idea about the dating history of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. It’s fascinating to learn about their lives off the field. The stories of their relationships add an intriguing layer to their public personas. Thanks for sharing these insights!
