Laila Faisal, Abhishek Sharma’s reported girlfriend, was spotted during his sister Komal Sharma’s pre-wedding celebrations. The former posted images from the occasion to her Instagram account. This has fuelled rumours among fans that she is dating Abhishek Sharma, India’s latest batting sensation.
Laila Faisal is a Delhi-based fashion entrepreneur who founded Roohi Faisal Designs.
According to sources, she studied in the United Kingdom, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology from King’s College in London. After returning to India, she took up modelling contracts for numerous companies. Currently, she has 65.4K Instagram followers.
Abhishek, who missed her sister’s wedding on October 3 to play for India A versus Australia A, has not confirmed that he is dating Laila. However, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if the announcement comes anytime soon.
While Abhishek was unfortunately dismissed for a golden duck against Australia A, the southpaw is having the time of his life as far as his cricketing career is concerned. During the recently concluded Asia Cup, Abhishek was in red-hot form, as he amassed 314 runs in seven innings at an average of 44.86 and a strike rate of 200. The Punjab batter finished as the highest run-getter in a single edition of the T20 Asia Cup.
Abhishek’s brilliance with the bat played a key role as India won the Asia Cup for a record-extending ninth time. This was also the second time they won the T20 version of the continental competition. Abhishek gave his team some blistering starts throughout the campaign. He was dismissed for a single-digit score only in the final.
Suryakumar Yadav-led India won seven matches, remaining unbeaten in the competition. They defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the final by five wickets in Dubai.
Coming back to Abhishek, the opening batter is reportedly in contention for a spot in India’s ODI side, which will tour Australia later this month. The Asian giants will play three ODIs in Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney.
