After a small break, Kumar Sangakkara is back in the IPL. He was in the stands watching the match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

However, seeing the netizens’ reactions it seems like he is being shipped with Malaika Arora. People began to tease him asking where was the diva. ICYMI, the two got embroiled in the most unexpected and wild dating rumour in the history of Bollywood and cricketer romances.

A month back, Malaika Arora came as a guest and sat in the dug out of Rajasthan Royals with Kumar Sangakkara. After her separation with Arjun Kapoor, she was even linked to fashion stylist Rahul Vijay who has worked with all Bollywood stars including her ex-Arjun Kapoor. They had been seen together at the AP Dhillon concert. Later, when they saw Kumar Sangakkara and Malaika together they wondered if a romance was brewing.
