This lady has a huge age gap of 12 years with the cricketer but the couple look amazing together. Ayesha makes sure she stays fit and also motivates her husband to maintain a strong physique. In 2014, Dhawan became a proud father as Ayesha gave birth to a baby boy Zoravar Dhawan. She can give any ace model a run for money with her gorgeous looks.
10. Dipika Pallikal/Dinesh Kartik: Dipika initially hated cricketers but little did she know that she would end up with one of the most sought-after wicketkeeper-batsman of India.

Dipika proved her mettle by becoming the first female squash player to be rewarded with the Arjuna Award. She was also honored with the Padma Shri award which was given to her in 2014. Dinesh divorced his first wife Nikita Vijay in 2012 followed by tying the knot with ace squash player Dipika Pallikal in 2015. This ace-squash player has more fan following than her cricketer husband Karthik even though she played a lesser known sport. She comes to support her husband for IPL matches who plays for Delhi Daredevils team. Together, they make a super-stylish couple.
