Who is Laila Faisal? Meet Abhishek Sharma's rumoured girlfriend

Abhishek Sharma Girlfriend: Sunrisers Hyderabad may have had an underwhelming season, but Abhishek Sharma, the star opener of the Kavya Maran-owned team, continues to be the highlight—not only for his fiery knocks on the field but also for his charm and personality off it. He recently lit up the internet yet again, this time not with a six or a four, but with his response to LSG's Divesh Rathi.

After smashing a quickfire 59 (20), Abhishek was dismissed by Rathi, who pulled out the now-infamous “notebook sendoff.” But Abhishek didn’t let it slide. As the 24-year-old walked off, he mockingly flipped through an imaginary notebook of his own, earning him a wave of applause from fans online. The clip is now all over Instagram and Twitter, with many calling it one of the “coldest replies of the season.”

And while his on-field moments continue to trend, fans have also turned their attention to Abhishek’s personal life—especially his rumored girlfriend, Laila Faisal.

Known for blending modern trends with classic elegance, Laila’s work is making waves both in India and abroad.

How did the Abhishek Sharma and Laila Faisal dating rumours begin?

Rumors of Abhishek and Laila dating started when the two were spotted together at multiple social events. Things picked up steam back in February this year when Laila shared an Instagram story celebrating Abhishek’s 135-run knock against England, setting a new highest individual score by an Indian in T20I. Additionally, she has also been spotted alongside Abhishek's sister, Komal Sharma, in the stands multiple times, cheering on the SRH squad.

While neither of them has confirmed the relationship, fans noticed that Laila used to have a public Instagram profile, where she regularly shared fashion and lifestyle content with her 32.8k followers. After the buzz surrounding her and Abhishek picked up, she quietly made her account private. Still, users spotted that she’s followed by cricketer Suresh Raina, Abhishek’s sister, and Abhishek himself.
