Let's face it: divorces aren't easy, even for the stars who seem to have it all. Here's a quick look at some of the most talked-about divorces in the cricketing world that prove even legends aren't immune to love's foul balls. From Hardik Pandya to Shikhar Dhawan, these cricketers faced marital challenges that ultimately led to divorce. 1. Mohammad Azharuddin and Naureen The former Indian captain, Mohammad Azharuddin, tied the knot with Naureen in 1987. They had a nine-year run before calling it quits in 1996. Azhar didn't waste any time, marrying Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani shortly after. Their split, along with Azharuddin's controversies, kept him firmly in the limelight-talk about a full-time job! 2. Dinesh Karthik and Nikita Vanjara Dinesh Karthik's divorce from Nikita Vanjara in 2012 was the talk of the town, and for good reason! Not long after their split, Nikita tied the knot with Karthik's teammate, Murali Vijay. Now that's what you call a "team" effort! Karthik, however, found love again with squash champion Dipika Pallikal, proving that life goes on-preferably with a new partner. 3. Shane Warne and Simone Callahan Australian cricket legend Shane Warne and Simone Callahan called it quits in 2005 after a decade of marriage. Warne's off-field escapades often grabbed headlines, and even after their split, they remained committed co-parents. Unfortunately, their story took a sad turn with Warne's untimely passing in 2022. 4. Imran Khan and Jemima Goldsmith Imran Khan, former cricket captain and current political heavyweight, married British socialite Jemima Goldsmith in 1995. Despite cultural differences, they managed to stay together for nine years before their 2004 split. Their divorce was front-page news, and let's be honest, when a cricketing icon is involved, it's bound to make waves! 5. Shikhar Dhawan and Ayesha Mukherjee Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan and his wife Ayesha Mukherjee recently parted ways (via TOI) after eight years of marriage. The latter broke the news on her new Instagram page, sharing a heartfelt post. Talk about a public farewell-sometimes, social media is the new divorce court! 6. Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic After tying the knot in 2020 and renewing their vows in a lavish ceremony in Udaipur on Valentine's Day 2023, Hardik Pandya and Natasa Stankovic decided to call it quits after four years. Sometimes love isn't a bed of roses, but it sure makes for great headlines! 7. Shoaib Malik and Ayesha Siddiqui, Sania Mirza Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik was once entangled in a legal web with Ayesha Siddiqui before marrying Indian tennis star Sania Mirza. Their whirlwind romance also met its end, and Malik eventually reunited with Siddiqui. Talk about a game of musical chairs-love can be quite the tricky wicket!
