5 Indian cricketers who married women older than them

People often find love in unexpected places since love is a universal emotion. Both common folks and well-known celebrities have married persons far older than themselves out of love.

The practice of getting married to an older person is not going away anytime soon. A number of well-known Indian cricket players have recently wed elderly women. Such tales of love demonstrate that age is irrelevant in romantic relationships. Let's examine famous Indian cricket players who have married older women and the current status of their relationships.

1. Shikhar Dhawan

An intriguing love tale also exists between the aggressive Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan and his ex-wife Ayesha Mukherjee. Ayesha had two children from her first marriage and had moved to Australia at a fairly young age. She was discovered on Facebook by Shikhar.

The southpaw was blown away by Ayesha's appearance after going through her profile. Shikhar couldn't help but fall in love with this Bengali beauty even though he knew she was married. Before getting married in 2012, the couple got engaged in 2009. The fact that Ayesha is ten years older than Shikhar is noteworthy, yet it had not diminished their love for one another.

2. Hardik Pandya

Hardik is one of the best cricket players in India, and Natasa is a professional dancer, model, and actress. The internet came to a halt on May 31, 2020, when Hardik Pandya married Natasa Stankovic. His wife, Nataša Stanković, is a year and seven months older than the handsome Indian all-rounder.

Following their initial meeting at a club, Hardik and Natasa began to grow closer to one another. The couple started dating shortly after and were engaged in January 2020. On July 30 of the same year, the couple welcomed their son Agastya into the world, embracing parenting. But now the couple is no longer together.

3. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah has been India's top fast bowler and is considered to be among the greatest pacers in the history of the game. He is married to Sanjana Ganesan, a well-known sports presenter who is two years and seven months his senior.

Bumrah did not immediately fall in love with his better half, in contrast to the tale of Tendulkar and Hardik. He actually revealed his love story in an interview, saying that they didn't talk because they both felt the other was "really arrogant." But in the end, they became fond of one another and fell in love.

4. Virat Kohli

One of the most well-known cricket players in Indian history has been Virat Kohli. Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, six months his senior, is the wife of former India captain Virat Kohli. On December 17, 2017, the famous couple married in a private ceremony in Italy.

Both of them got to know one another in 2013 while filming a shampoo commercial. When they were seen together at an Indian Super League game in November 2014, they formally announced their romance. After over five years of blissful marriage, the couple is thrilled to have a cute daughter named Vamika and a son named Akaay.

5. Sachin Tendulkar

The god of Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, and his wife, Anjali Tendulkar, are the last and most important of our list. The love story of Sachin Tendulkar, which began in an airport, is as cinematic as you can imagine! In 1990, while Anjali was bidding farewell to her mother and Sachin Tendulkar was returning home from a global tour, the pair happened to meet at the Mumbai airport.

The power couple, who were six years apart in age, dated for five long years before being married on May 24, 1995. Compared to Sachin Tendulkar, Anjali Tendulkar is six years older.
