Life of a celebrity in this country is never really easy in India, especially for the cricketers, who gain more attention than anyone else. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cricket</strong></a>, as we all know, is the heartbreak of this country and its players are always in the news for a plethora of reasons, good or bad.

Fortunately or unfortunately, everything a cricketer does in his personal or professional life gets scrutinized deeply. This sometimes makes their life difficult, but being the flag-bearer of such a happening sport in the country, these are the few things they have to deal with.

A person next door marrying twice or thrice might not be a big deal in this country, but a cricketer ringing the wedding bells for the second time is quite a hot topic. Here are five famous personalities from the cricketing fraternity who managed to hog a great deal of limelight because of multiple marriages.

Arguably one of the greatest cricketers the game has seen, Imran Khan was an inspirational leader who took Pakistan to their first and only World Cup glory in 1992. The deadly all-rounder incidentally married thrice and his first two wives were precisely 21 years younger than him.

He first married Jemima Goldsmith and this relationship stood strong for 9 years. After the couple parted ways, he married Libyan journalist Reham Khan and the couple got divorced just 9 months later. He recently tied the knot for the third time with Bushra Manek but reports suggest that she has returned to her maternal home accusing Imran Khan&#8217;s family of domestic violence.<br>

This definitely one of the most famous stories in the Indian cricketing fraternity. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/murali-kartik-reckons-dinesh-karthik-is-a-better-fit-in-the-middle-order-over-suresh-raina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dinesh Karthik</strong></a> married his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara in 2007. When Nikita was pregnant in 2012, Dinesh found out that she was in a relationship with his Tamil Nadu teammate Murali Vijay, which led to the couple getting divorced.

A year after Karthik and Nikita got separated, Vijay tied the knot with Nikita. But Dinesh Karthik ended up finding another life partner in Deepika Pallikal, Indian Squash superstar. The couple got married last year and are leading a happy life. Karthik is currently back in the Indian mix and is attempting to seal a place in the side for the World Cup next year.<br>

One of the fastest bowlers of his era, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/brett-lee-calls-odi-pitches-grass-protection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brett Lee</strong></a> tormented batsmen with his terrestrial pace and metronomic accuracy. Lee and Elizabeth Kemp exchanged perpetual vows with each other in 2006 and the couple had a son as well. But their relationship lasted only for a couple of years and in 2009, they got divorced. Rumors floated that Kemp was allegedly in a relationship with a Brisbane Rugby player during this time.

Lee had to combat extended periods of loneliness and due to his long off-season commitments, he had to stay away from his son as well. He later married Lana Anderson in 2014 and the couple is blessed with a girl. His name was also attached to the actress of movie Unindian Tannishtha Chatterjee after their steamy scenes surfaced.<br>

This name in the list might surprise quite a few people, but Shoaib Malik was married to another girl before marrying Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza. Shoaib was married to a girl named Ayesha Siddique in 2002, but their relationship didn&#8217;t last long and ended up in divorce in a few years time.

Malik later fell in love with Sania, which flamed quite a lot of controversies. Despite receiving some backlash over marrying an Indian lady, Malik and Sania dealt with the situation brilliantly and the couple will soon be <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sania-mirza-and-shoaib-malik-post-a-cryptic-tweet-set-to-welcome-their-first-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>blessed with a kid</strong></a>, as announced by them through their Twitter handles.<br>

Mohammad Azharuddin&#8217;s career has been full of controversies, his matrimonial life is one of them. Back in his prime days when Azharuddin was one of the best cricketers in the world, Azharuddin married Naureen and the couple had two kids. But their relation started to fall apart with the entrance of actress Sangeeta Bijlani.

Sangeeta Bijlani and Azharuddin got married in 1996 after getting separated from Naureen. The glamorous couple of Sangeeta and Azharuddin called it quits to their relationship in 2010. After that, Azharuddin was said to be in a relationship with Badminton star Jwala Gutta.
