Actor Malaika Arora was spotted at an IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), on Sunday, alongside former Sri Lankan cricketer and ex-Rajasthan Royals coach Kumar Sangakkara.

During the match, Malaika was also seen wearing a Rajasthan Royals T-shirt, showing her support for the team along with Kumar Sangakkara. When fans saw her with Sangakkara on the TV screen, they were surprised, and dating speculations started circulating. 

Soon, their pictures and videos began trending on social media, with users commenting and making assumptions about their relationship.

The match took place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, where Malaika was seen sitting with Kumar Sangakkara in the Rajasthan Royals dugout. 

One social media user posted a picture of the two and asked, “Is Malaika Arora dating Sangakkara?”

While another joked, “Malaika Arora is in the RR dugout—is she their fashion coach?”

Kumar Sangakkara has served as Rajasthan Royals’ head coach for multiple seasons. He is currently the Director of Cricket for the team. 

Malaika and Arjun Kapoor made their relationship official in 2018 on her 45th birthday. 

And they reportedly broke off in May 2024, as per the sources after dating for almost six years.
