Are they dating? - Malaika Arora watching IPL match with Kumar Sangakkara raises eyebrows

Malaika Arora set the internet on fire after she was spotted in the dugout with former Sri Lankan cricketer and ex-coach of Rajasthan Royals- Kumar Sangakkara. It was a Sunday night and the entire atmosphere in the Baraspara Cricket Stadium of Guwahati was electrifying as excited cricket fans watched Rajasthan Royals defeat Chennai Super Kings during one of the IPL 2025 matches.

It was a big surprise for cricket fans as fans could not recall spotting Malaika Arora in the camp of Rajasthan Royals before. Incidentally, she was also seen cheering the RR team sitting beside Sangakkara which raised many eyebrows.

The Munni of Bollywood looked quite chilled and entirely engrossed in watching the match. Incidentally, she was also wearing the Rajasthan Royals jersey similar to Sangakkara which triggered comments like, “Are they dating” and “Has Malla found new love?”

It should be noted that Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor are rumoured to have broken up and that the actress has been single for some time now. In the last few months she has not been spotted with Arjun Kapoor which has somehow confirmed the fact that the Singham 3 actor and the reality dance show judge are no more together.

Before Arjun Kapoor , she was married to Arbaaz Khan and shares a son Arrhan Khan with him. It was often thought that Arbaaz and Malla broke up because the actress fell in love with Arjun Kapoor.

Coming to Sangakkara he has been one of the cricketers who has shaped the team of Rajasthan Royals by serving as the head coach for this Shilpa Shetty-owned team multiple times. He is currently enjoying the role of director of cricket which is why Rahul Dravid has now been appointed as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals.

Even as a player Sangakkara left a mark in IPL representing many franchises including SunRisers Hyderabad, Deccan Chargers, and Punjab Kings (former Kings XI Punjab).
