What sparked rumours of Shehnaaz Gill dating cricketer Devdutt Padikkal?

Rumour mills are spinning once again, and this time, the internet is busy connecting Shehnaaz Gill and RCB cricketer Devdutt Padikkal after the actor’s recent IPL appearance grabbed everyone’s attention online.

Shehnaaz was recently spotted in Raipur cheering for Royal Challengers Bengaluru during their clash against Kolkata Knight Riders, and within minutes, social media had already started building its own little love story around it.

Now, to be clear, neither Shehnaaz nor Devdutt has confirmed anything at all. There’s absolutely no official statement, no public hint, and honestly, nothing concrete. But that hasn’t stopped fans from going full detective mode online.

The moment videos of Shehnaaz cheering from the stands surfaced online, fans quickly began speculating if there was more to her RCB support than just cricket fandom.

X, Reddit, and Instagram comment sections instantly filled up with theories linking her to Devdutt Padikkal. Some users even claimed her excitement during the match “looked personal,” while others joked that IPL season has now officially become “couple announcement season.”

Of course, the internet has a habit of turning literally any celebrity interaction into dating gossip within seconds, so this latest rumour is hardly surprising.

Part of the speculation comes from the fact that Shehnaaz has openly shown love for RCB recently.

Not too long ago, she shared a reel with the caption:

“Dil RCB mein hai… aur jaan Punjab mein hai.”

That post had already caught attention among cricket fans, and now, after her stadium appearance, many are revisiting it like it was some hidden clue all along.

Some fans are convinced there’s “something brewing,” while others think people are simply overanalysing a celebrity attending a cricket match.

And honestly? Both things can be true on the internet at the same time.

While the gossip continues online, Devdutt seems completely focused on cricket.

In RCB’s recent win against KKR, the batter played an important knock of 39 runs and shared a solid partnership with Virat Kohli, who smashed another IPL century. The win pushed RCB back to the top of the points table, making the night even bigger for fans.

Padikkal also praised Kohli after the match for bouncing back strongly after two low scores, calling it “incredible to watch.”

So far, the cricketer hasn’t reacted to any of the dating chatter.
