List of 5 Famous Cricketers Who Married Twice

Star cricketers make headlines for their achievement on the field. However, they have a very highlighted personal life too. People follow their actions closely while cricketing fans keep an interest about the lives of their favourite star.

Most recently, Indian skipper Virat Kohli tied the knots with Bollywood heartthrob Anushka Sharma in Italy last December. People went mad as soon as the pictures surfaced on the internet while many flooded the social media sites with wishes and blessings.

Meanwhile, few current and former cricketers married more than once on their list. Due to several reasons, they parted ways with their first partner and fell in love again.

On this note, let us take a look at five cricketers who married twice.

Imran Khan:

The all-rounder from Pakistan got hitched to Jemima Goldsmith in 1995. A British socialite turned writer and activist; she came from an influential Goldschmidt family of England.

Further, they have two sons, Sulaiman Isa Khan (born 1996) and Kasim Khan (born 1999). However, they parted their ways amicably in 2004.

Imrah again announced the news of his marriage with the British Pakistani journalist Reham Khan in early 2015. However, much to the disappointment it lasted only nine months, as they got divorced in October 2015.

Imran Khan represented Pakistan in 88 Tests, and 175 ODIs. Capable of contributing with both bat and ball, Imran proved to be a pillar of the team for a considerable period.

Dinesh Karthik:

The stylish wicket-keeper batsman from Tamil Nadu earlier tied knots with Nikita Vanjara. Later, Nikita fell in love with Karthik’s teammate Murali Vijay. Meanwhile, Karthik gave her a divorce to move on with life.

Later, Karthik married Dipika Pallikal in Chennai in 2015. Pallikal is a renowned squash player and had represented India at various events all over the world.

However, Karthik is currently in South Africa with the Indian squad. India is leading six-match ODI series 3-1, while Karthik is yet to get a game.

Mohammad Azharuddin:

Mohammad Azharuddin is considered to be the most controversial figure in Indian cricket. During his stint in the national team, Azhar married Naureen, and the couple had two sons, named Asad and Ayaz. However, they parted ways in 1996.

Soon after, Azhar fell in love with Sangeet Bijlani, a renowned Bollywood actress. He tied knots only to get divorced in 2010.

Akram then settled in with Shaniera Thompson, a former public relations consultant. Thompson gave birth to a baby girl named Aiyla Akram in 2014.
