It’s not every day that we get a sneak peek into the softer, more intimate side of cricketers—athletes who are usually known for their fierce determination and sportsmanship on the field. But if you follow them on social media, you know that these stars often wear their hearts on their sleeves when it comes to celebrating their loved ones. Whether it's a birthday wish, a loving anniversary note, or a post that just radiates pure affection, Indian cricketers know exactly how to make their significant others feel special.
Let’s take a look at some of the most touching, and downright romantic, posts that these cricketers have shared with their fans, giving us a glimpse into their love lives. From cute birthday messages to endearing anniversary tributes, these posts show us that love, after all, is a universal language that even cricket balls can’t compete with!

Suryakumar Yadav’s relationship with his wife, Devisha Shetty, is one for the books. They’ve been together for years, with their journey beginning in 2010 during a college event. Fast forward to 2016, and the two tied the knot, with Suryakumar often expressing his gratitude and admiration for Devisha on social media.
When Devisha celebrated her birthday recently, Suryakumar posted a heartfelt message that resonated with so many. He described his wife as everything he holds dear: his home, his calm, his adventure, and his biggest support system. His words reflected the deep bond they share:
"Happy Birthday to my home, my calm, my silly, my adventure, my biggest support system and cheerleader. With you by my side, every dream seems achievable and possibilities seem limitless. Grateful for you, everyday. Love you endlessly."
In reply, Devisha’s response was simple but full of affection: “Love You.”
For anyone who has followed their journey, it’s easy to see why their love story is so inspiring.
Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s relationship has always been in the public eye, and it's clear that their bond is built on love, mutual respect, and unwavering support. On their anniversary in 2022, Virat took to Instagram to pen a touching tribute to his wife, marking five years of togetherness with a promise of many more to come:
"5 years on a journey for eternity. How blessed I am to find you, I love you with all my heart."
Anushka, with her signature wit, responded: "Thank God you didn't go for 'payback' post." Clearly, their relationship is a beautiful example of growth, both personal and professional.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, has always made it a point to celebrate his wife Ritika Sajdeh, no matter how busy he is with his cricketing commitments. Even though he is often occupied with his cricket duties, he didn’t forget to make Ritika feel special on her birthday. Last year, he shared a few warm photos of them together and added a heartfelt caption:
"Just another excuse to celebrate 𝐘𝐎𝐔! ♥️ Happy Birthday Rits 🎂🤗🍀"
Despite being far from home, Rohit’s words were a beautiful reminder that love and family come first. It’s moments like these that show how much he cherishes Ritika—not just as his partner, but as his constant source of support.
KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty's love story is one that captured the hearts of many when they got married earlier this year. As Athiya celebrated her birthday recently (earlier this month), Rahul shared an adorable collection of photos on Instagram. Some were funny, some were mushy, but all of them radiated love and joy. In one goofy picture, the couple could be seen enjoying noodles, mouths wide open, while another captured Athiya pulling a silly face.
KL Rahul’s caption was just as playful as the pictures: “My craziee birthday baby” followed by heart, kiss, and infinity emojis. His love for Athiya shone through in every word.
Athiya responded with a simple yet heartfelt “Love you,” which only added to the warmth of the moment.
For fans, the couple’s easygoing yet affectionate dynamic is what makes their relationship so relatable. And let’s not forget, they also announced some exciting news recently—they’re expecting their first child! That’s a whole new chapter for this loving couple.
