Jasmin Walia’s Appearance at ICC Champions Trophy Final Sparks Dating Rumors with Hardik Pandya
Jasmin Walia, a British singer and television personality, has been linked romantically to Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya following her recent appearance at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai.
At the highly-anticipated match between India and New Zealand, Jasmin Walia captured attention not just for her style but also for her enthusiastic support for Team India from the stands. Her attendance during such a pivotal sporting event has reignited discussions about her rumored relationship with Pandya, who is known for his exceptional cricketing skills as well as his high-profile personal life.
Sporting a fashionable blue-striped white shirt paired with stylish glasses, Jasmin was seen passionately cheering for the Indian team, further bolstering speculation surrounding her bond with Hardik Pandya. His multifaceted life on and off the cricket field maintains a constant fascination for fans, making their rumored link the talk of the town.
Initially, Jasmin Walia rose to fame on the British reality television series “The Only Way Is Essex” (TOWIE) and solidified her popularity in India with her hit single “Bom Diggy” featuring Zack Knight in 2017. With her Indian heritage and cultural roots, Walia has established a robust connection with her Indian audience, drawing more attention to her potential romance with the cricket star.
The spark of romance rumors between Jasmin and Hardik ignited after they both shared pictures from a vacation in Greece, shortly after Hardik’s divorce from Natasa Stankovic in July 2024. Despite their relationship status being unconfirmed, the duo’s social media interactions and Jasmin’s frequent cricket match appearances have kept speculation alive. Leading up to the final match, fans turned to social media to encourage Jasmin to rally behind Hardik and Team India, making her presence at the game even more significant.
On the cricketing front, India faced challenges at the toss, with captain Rohit Sharma suffering a 15th consecutive ODI toss loss. New Zealand chose to bat first, starting strong with a score of 57 without loss within eight overs, yet India’s proficient spin attack shifted the game’s momentum. The Kiwis were ultimately limited to a total of 251 runs, largely due to an impressive bowling display from Indian bowlers including Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Axar Patel, and Ravindra Jadeja.
Daryl Mitchell contributed significantly to New Zealand’s innings with a commendable 63 runs off 101 balls, but a string of wickets crumbled their progress. One standout moment was Kuldeep Yadav’s stunning delivery that clean-bowled Rachin Ravindra, which thrilled the Indian supporters in attendance, including actress Anushka Sharma.
While India’s bowlers showcased their prowess, Hardik Pandya did not have the best day with the ball. Struggling to find his rhythm, he gave away 30 runs in just 3 overs, resulting in a notably high economy rate of 10.00 and allowing New Zealand’s batsmen to capitalize on his lack of control.
