5 Indian sportswomen who are married to cricketers

#3 Ayesha Mukherjee

Ayesha is a trained

kick boxer

and follows strict fitness routines

Born in India to a Bengali father and a British mother, and educated and married in Australia, Ayesha Mukherjee is a diverse personality in herself. The diversity does not end there as the professionally trained kick boxer went on to marry a cricketer- Shikhar Dhawan- after divorcing her first husband.

Shikhar and Ayesha have a story reminiscent to Bollywood love stories, as the duo met through Facebook, Harbhajan Singh being their mutual friend. Also, the fact that Ayesha is ten years older than the Delhi bloke and had two daughters from her previous marriage made their marriage questionable in the eyes of Dhawan's family.

However, the couple has come a long way as far as their marriage is concerned and Ayesha, who herself follows a strict workout routine, ensures that her husband is always fit. Lady Luck has seemed to shine over the left-handed opening batsman as he made his comeback into the Indian side post his marriage in 2012 and has since never looked back.
