Renowned Indian Opener KL Rahul Breaks Silence Over Dating Alia Bhatt’s BFF Akansha Ranjan Kapoor
This is not for the first time that we are hearing about any dating rumours between a cricketer and a Bollywood celebrity. Many live examples in front of us are there who are happily married ever after dating for so long. For example- Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, Mohammad Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani and many others. The very recent about Virushka is the link-up between very popular Indian opener, KL Rahul and Alia Bhatt’s best friend, Akansha Ranjan.
Not only Akansha, but the dashing batsman was also linked to many other actresses before like Sonam Bajwa and Sunil Shetty’s daughter, Athiya Shetty. According to the media sources, Rahul is dating Akansha Ranjan Kapoor who is cutie Alia Bhatt’s best friend forever.
Akansha has also revealed later on that she also has introduced her friend Alia and her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor to KL Rahul.

So, finally, amid all the speculations and the rumours going about his dating with Akansha, KL Rahul has broken his silence on the rumours that are becoming the talk of the town. In an interview with Bombay Times, KL Rahul denied and said that he had no idea about ongoing rumours. In a reply he said,
“Oh, all these things have been written about? I don’t really read the papers, so I don’t know what has been written about me. I have learnt to keep my personal life personal and not make it a thing to talk about. I am committed to cricket right now,” he said. He further said that “I don’t really know. When I figure that out, I will give you a call and tell you.”

The rumoured couple has also remained in the limelight for over the past few months. As, they together have been spotted many times hanging, partying and drinking together outside and at Alia’s house of course.
The latest reports also revealed that Akansha is spending a lot of time with Rahul and they were caught together praying at the Mount Mary Church.
So, among all the rumours and speculations going on for their relationship, we are still not sure whether it’s correct or just rumours in the air. For the moment, we only can wait and watch whether the duo will be able to pass the test of time or not like other happily married couples from the world of cricket and Bollywood.

Take pride in how far you have come. Have faith in how far you can go. 🎯
As much as we like the game of cricket we swear by the great cricketers that we are lucky enough to witness their games. The world has witnessed many great champions in all these years and even new faces keep adding to the teams of bests. But what jolts our spirit a bit is when any of a great cricketer bids farewell to the cricket world.
With the farewell of our favorite Sixer King, Yuvraj Singh we are sad to announce that he is not the only one retiring from the cricket world. According to the source we now have names of a few best-known players who may be hanging their gloves after this ODI World Cup (2019).
Read below and find the list of cricketers who could take retirement after world cup 2019:
1. Chris Gayle
via: Twitter
West Indian player Chris Gayle is a name that every cricket team dreaded to take. His game gives the nightmares to the opponent’s team. When Gayle is amongst those crickets who are totally into the game when they are out on the field. For his fierce batting, people give names that are associated with dreadfuls.
He is one of those two cricketers who have scored a double hundred in ODI World Cup. Gayle has been playing since the 1990s and his game is still the same. But according to the source, this ODI World Cup could be his last one. The great batsman has played 275 matches and bagged about 10k runs.
2. MS Dhoni
via: Twitter
With amazing 14 years of cricket career, Indian cricket team’s champion MS Dhoni needs no introduction. He is the only wicketkeeper that the cricket world witnessed who is blessed with even better batting and captainship skills.
No matter he is the captain or not, we find Dhoni as the one who is advising and guiding players on the field. Known for his helicopter shots MS Dhoni has almost 10k runs to his account and has played 318 matches till date. But rumors are that this ODI World Cup 2019 might be his last one.
3. AB De Villiers

South African player AB De Villiers has nearly 10k runs to his account with a strike rate of 101, he remains one of the best gems of South African team. Famous for his 360-degree shots, the great SA batsman is about to bid goodbye to the test cricket game. His returning from the test cricket match is mostly because of his injuries although it hadn’t stopped him from playing his best matches.
He has played 228 matches and with his great batsmanship stroke about 26 hundred in his career. We are sure not just the South African team but the whole cricket world will miss a gem like him.
4. Ross Taylor

New Zealand’s “slog sweeper” Ross Taylor has played 203 matches in his cricket career. New Zealand’s batsman has given his team huge contribution throughout these years, his remarkable contribution was back in 2011 when she scored a hundred against Pakistan. The 235 years old cricketer would be saying goodbye to the ODI tests after the ODI World Cup 2019.
5. Hashim Amla
via: Twitter
Seems like South African cricket team is going to lose its two gems altogether as the news is around the corner that Hashim Amla is also going to say goodbye to ODI World Cups after the World Cup of 2019. He is one the fastest to score 7000 ODI runs with an average of 50. He has played 164 matches and has hit 26 hundred with his total run rate of 7535 runs.
Seems like 2019 ODI World Cup is crucial to watch as we may be witnessing these five tremendous players for the last time on the field. No matter how many new faces come to the cricket world, the gems of all time remain in the records and memories of us all.
