Abhishek Sharma and Laila Faisal are becoming the most talked-about names this IPL season but not just for cricket and couture. Rumours are flying faster than sixes after Faisal, a London-educated designer and founder of Laila Roohi Faisal Designs, shared a proud Instagram story praising Sharma's explosive 135-run T20I knock.
With an elite degree from King's College London and a luxury label that marries Indian heritage with contemporary flair, Faisal has emerged as both a style icon and a cultural voice. Her regular appearances with Sharma and his sister at IPL events, paired with a mysterious Instagram account that's now locked, have only deepened public curiosity.

Faisal isn't just another name in fashion, she's built a brand from scratch that reflects depth, identity, and global vision. Her Instagram, before it went private, was a digital moodboard of elegant designs, luxe styling tips, and refined editorials.
Her label stands out for its minimalist Indian-Western fusion, quickly becoming a favourite among millennial and Gen-Z buyers. But it was her public presence, attending matches, private gatherings, and being seen alongside Sharma's sister, that made fans start connecting the dots.
The timing of her Instagram story cheering Sharma's historic T20I innings didn't seem accidental either. Add to that the sudden switch to a private profile, and Reddit threads began lighting up with questions no one can quite answer yet.
Whether she's just a close friend of Sharma or something more remains unconfirmed, but one thing's certain: Laila Faisal is leading her own narrative, one stitch at a time.
Behind the headlines is a woman who doesn't need a plus-one to make news. Faisal's journey from King's College London to the upper echelons of Indian fashion tells its own tale. Her brand doesn't scream luxury, it whispers it, with craftsmanship and cultural nuance at its core. She balances modern silhouettes with Indian traditions, creating pieces that resonate far beyond the runway. But what sets her apart isn't just the fabric and finesse; it's her ability to hold space in both fashion circles and public imagination.
