“Sara smiled and chose not to give a direct answer,” reported a witness at the IPL 2026 match held on April 12 at Ekana Stadium. The presence of Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, alongside her sister-in-law Saaniya Chandhok, created a buzz among fans and attendees alike.
During the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, Sara was seen wearing a casual outfit while Saaniya donned the LSG jersey. The atmosphere intensified when Rishabh Pant, a key player for LSG, was dismissed for 18 runs off 11 balls, prompting a celebration from Sara.
Despite the excitement, Sara did not disclose which team she was supporting, leading to speculation among fans. “In the IPL, even silence can feel like a statement,” noted a reporter, highlighting the intrigue surrounding her presence.
The match concluded with Gujarat Titans triumphing by 7 wickets, successfully restricting LSG to 164 runs for 8 wickets. Prasidh Krishna was a standout performer, taking 4 wickets for 28 runs, while Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler contributed significantly with scores of 56 and 60 runs, respectively.
Fans were quick to connect Sara with Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans, adding another layer of interest to her attendance. “The moment created a lot of discussion among fans and added extra buzz to the match,” the reporter added.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential relationship between Sara and Shubman, but both parties have maintained a level of privacy about their personal lives. “There’s no official confirmation from either side and to their credit, they’ve kept things that way,” the reporter concluded.
