Anusha-Irfan, Sid-Dippy: Vote for the hottest IPL jodi

Hot models, athletic men, glamorous parties and two long months of away from home means you can expect a lot more action than just cricket! Here are the hottest IPL link-ups. Vote for your favourite jodi!

IPL 4 will perhaps be best remembered for all the skeletons that have been tumbling out of the closet.

But after months of washing dirty linen in public, the folks at IPL might be glad that the right kind of 'affairs' are making their way into the media.

So here are the sexiest jodis that are heating things up at IPL 4! Vote for your most favourite:

Anusha Dandekar and Irfan Pathan

One would imagine someone in Irfan Pathan's position would be focussing on his game. But if rumours are to be believed, the out-of-form Pathan has been dating MTV VJ Anusha Dandekar.

The pacer, who cost the Delhi Daredevils a whopping $ 1.9 million, is reportedly seeing 'moral support' from the light-eyed beauty.

Dandekar and Pathan reportedly have gone great lengths to keep their relationship a secret until of course this news leaked into the media earlier this week.

Apparently Dandekar also flew down to Irfan's hometown just to catch up with him!

Interestingly, not very long ago, Pathan was linked with a certain Shivangi Dev, a diplomat's daughter and an accountant in Australia.

While reports of their marriage were furiously doing the rounds, it seems like Pathan is back in the ring and on the prowl.

If only he manages to play some cricket now

Deepika Padukone and Sidhartha Mallya

The cameras said it all!

First, after Mallya's Royal Challengers Bangalore beat the living daylights out of Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in Kolkata and more recently when they beat Delhi Daredevils, the young couple made no attempts to hide their affections.

Soon after they won the match on Friday, Sidhartha Mallya held Deepika Padukone tightly and planted a full-mouthed kiss and from what we saw the Bollywood star wasn't complaining!

Deepika is the latest glamorous face of Mallya's team, a mantle that her rival Katrina Kaif held in the initial days of IPL.

Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh

Rumour has it that Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh are making all kinds of preparations to get married.

A newspaper recently reported that the two were spotted visiting an astrologer and suggested that the two were waiting for the right mahurat.

It would seem proper for Bhajji, who is part of Mumbai Indians and whose career has been on the roll, to settle down.

But neither party is willing to come out in the open with their relationship!

When we asked Geeta Basra about it a few months ago, she insisted that Bhajji was 'just a friend'.

And while we're not entirely sure what films she has lined up, we're quite certain that the marriage, if it is to happen, is on hold quite simply because of Bhajji and his especially long and gruelling cricket schedule that begins barely two days after the IPL ends!

Mashoom Singha and Shaun Tait

The Australian pacer made news for reasons besides his on-field performance during the World Cup when he was photographed with his Indian model girlfriend Mashoom Singha.

Shaun Tait's team may have been sent packing but the cricketer ha come right back to India and Singha's arms as he plays for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.

If reports are to be believed, Tait and Singha met over a year ago during -- you guessed it -- the last IPL and have been in a long distance relationship ever since.

Singha describes Tait as a 'down-to-earth' person who likes to 'keep things low key' just like her.

And Tait, also known as The Wild Thing, if we are to be believed doesn't seem to mind being tamed either

Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne

Since we're talking all things wild and Rajasthan, how could we miss Shane Warne and Elizabeth Hurley -- though we can't help wonder who between the two is wilder.

Hurley who last came to Rajasthan as a demure bride-to-be and got married to Arun Nayar is back, this time as a beau Shane Warne's date and cheering for Rajasthan Royals.

What's more? Unlike most of our demure Indian damsels, Hurley even congratulated Warne with a kiss in full public view after his team beat Kochi Tuskers recently.

In an interview, the Brit confessed that she fell for Warne because of his nationality.

"I love Australians," she'd said, "They're jolly, they make me laugh -- their accents amuse me."

Guess what Liz? We're amused by yours!

Sarah Jane Dias and Virat Kohli

Call it a case of cradle snatching or just another publicity stunt but if rumour mills are to be believed Sarah Jane Dias has been seeing Virat Kohli.

Dias is 27, Kohli, 22.

Apparently the two met at the Sky Bar in Bangalore where a common friend introduced them.

During the evening that followed, the two stuck by each other. Needless to say the former Miss India-turned-actress and the young cricketer want to keep it quiet, considering their careers are just about taking off.

However Kohli who plays for Royal Challengers was keen that she be present during one of his matches.

We're not quite sure if she made it but we suppose Dias could try her hand at a different 'Game' since her last one went down the drain!

Shazahn Padamsee and S Sreesanth

Shazahn Padamsee is all but a couple of films old in Bollywood but she's already been making all the right kind of noises.

Among the many skeletons tumbling out of the IPL closet, very little is known of this one and that's what makes us more interested than ever.

While the folks at Kochi would like us to believe that their star player S Sreesanth is hooking up with Riya Sen -- their brand ambassador, we are told that the bowler's real interest lies elsewhere.

All that we do know about the two is that they love spending time with each other, go on long drives and according to Padamsee, are 'just friends'.

Now, if only they could come up with a better one!

Isha Sharvani and Zaheer Khan

Now you may remember Isha Sharvani as the girl who did those acrobatics in Kisna and wooed Farhan Akhtar away from Konkona Sen Sharma in Luck By Chance.

Lately though, if newspaper reports are to be believed, Sharvani is concentrating less on her movies and more on cricketer Zaheer Khan.

Khan, who was the highest wicket taker in the recently concluded World Cup, is reportedly keen on tying the knot with Sharvani.

Unlike Virat-Sarah, this couple never hit it off the first time they met way back in 2005.

However when their paths kept crossing at social dos, they figured they could perhaps be more than just friends.

Rumour has it that the cricketer even helped Sharvani find a house in Khar before they decided to take a break for about two years.

It seems though that they're back together and hopefully for good. If only Zaheer's schedule permits time for a shaadi!
