Abhishek Sharma is a fast-emerging talent in Indian cricket. The player has taken the Indian Premier League by storm with his remarkable performances as a batsman.
Sharma’s recent showcase has attracted attention from cricket analysts and fans alike.
He played for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024 and gave a terrific performance with a score of 100 in only his second match.
IPL franchises are planning to bid highly for this upcoming cricket star.
But beyond the stadium, this new kid on the block has increasingly intrigued fans with his personal life, especially rumours linking him to alleged girlfriend, Diya Mehta.
Let us explore the buzz around this relationship and what the paps and media are saying about this speculated romance.
Abhishek Sharma and Diya Mehta
Abhishek Sharma is a rather handsome-looking fellow.
This young cricketer is already touching stardom with over 1.7 million followers on Instagram.
Not much is known about Abhishek’s personal life but the player is rumoured to be dating a beauty from Gujarat, Diya Mehta.
Diya Mehta hails from Ahmedabad and is a creative professional with many talents. She is a model, a creative director, a fashion stylist, a lifestyle influencer and surprisingly, a pharmacist as well.
Her excellence as a model led her to the runner-up position in the Miss Rajasthan beauty pageant in 2019.
Diya has quite an internet presence herself with around 90,000 followers on her official Instagram account.
Rumours of an alleged romance between the two began when Diya Mehta referred to Abhishek Sharma as a source of her happiness.
Diya famously captioned her Instagram reel as “Hey @abhisheksharma_4, When I met you, I hardly knew your name. Now, I’m a fan”.
The video was for the IPL franchise’s official photoshoot for team Sunrisers Hyderabad. Australian cricketer Pat Cummins was also a part of this shoot.
In a video that went viral, Diya and Abhishek Sharma were seen posing with each other, arm in arm. Subsequently, she was seen guiding him as he posed wearing the Sunrisers Hyderabad official jersey.
The video read “Is your name Abhishek Sharma? Because when I see you, I feel like I’ve hit a century of happiness”.
Fans had mixed reactions to this mushy post. Some complimented the couple while others went on to compare Abhishek Sharma to another upcoming, popular and good-looking cricketer, Shubhman Gill and Yashashvi Jaiswal.
However, no confirmation has been issued by either of the two parties.
While Abhishek features in Diya Mehta’s posts and stories, she is nowhere to be found on his social media handles!
Apparently, the player likes to keep his personal life strictly private.
Another shocking side to this story is that while both individuals are fairly active on Instagram, they do not follow each other’s accounts.
This puts media people in quite a pickle. Are the two really dating each other or not? Well, only time will tell.
Making Dreams Come True
While some believe Abhishek to be an outsider in cricket, few know that this young prodigy is carrying his father Raj Kumar Sharma’s legacy.
Mr Kumar Sharma was a left-handed batsman and played cricket up to the under-22 North Zone Level.
After failing to qualify for India’s national cricket team, he became a full-time coach for the Amritsar Game Association.
Abhishek Sharma seems to be fulfilling his father’s cricketing dreams by playing for the Indian Premier League and becoming a sought-after player due to his remarkable skills and performance.
After his performance in the IPL as a playing member of the SRH, he is about to be acquired by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for IPL’s next season to be held in 2025.
Abhishek Sharma has left a lasting mark on the IPL with his explosive batting. His journey from a rising talent to a household name in Indian cricket is a true source of inspiration.
As we gear up to see his progress in the next IPL, fans await details about his romantic endeavours too.
With his charming looks and strong on-field presence, it may be declared that he is one of the most eligible bachelors among India’s first-class budding cricketers.
However, if a secret engagement is soon to be announced, then sadly, for all female fans, the cricketer will be off the market.
