Harbhajan Singh - Geeta Basra

Dating each other for around 8 years, Actor Geeta Basra and cricketer Harbhajan Singh finally tied a knot in 2015. 
It was love at first sight for the cricketers as he recollects, "I saw her in a song - Woh Ajnabee - when I was playing county cricket in London. I told my friend that I want to meet this girl." After team India won the  T-20 World Cup in South Africa, he messaged her for coffee and the rest as they say is history.

Sangeeta Bijlani- Mohammad Azharuddin

Although married, rumors of Mohammad Azharuddin having an extra-marital affair with Sangeeta Bijlani became to surface in 1994. Having met at a commercial photoshoot for the first time, the duo stayed in touch and finally got married in 1996. The couple, however, split after couple of years. 

Sharmila Tagore - Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi

He was the youngest captain of Indian cricket team and she the reigning queen of Bollywood. When the two met, Mansoor Ali didn't know anything about the film industry. How the cricketer managed to woo her while she was around the top heroes of Bollywood is a tale to be told. Apparently, the cricketer spent four years trying to charm her by sending roses, love letters and even a refrigerator.
