Sooryavanshi's repost of Abhishek Sharma's GF

Amid the busy schedule of the five-match T20I series between England and India, the off-field drama regarding the wonder kid of Indian cricket, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, grabbed attention for reposting an Instagram reel of his senior player, Abhishek Sharma’s rumoured girlfriend, on social media platforms.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was picked in the T20I squad of the national side for the very first time in the Ireland and England series, hasn’t made his debut yet in international cricket as the selectors continue to back the experienced players, who won the T20 World Cup 2026 recently.

What happened — Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's repost and who Laila Faisal is

While Sooryavanshi waits patiently for his debut, his Instagram activity has caught attention. The 15-year-old mistakenly reposted an Instagram reel of influencer Laila Faisal, who is the rumoured girlfriend of the Indian opener, Abhishek Sharma. The fans are claiming that Vaibhav perhaps has reposted the reel accidentally.

But the claim is in fact true. The Bihar-born reposted the reel of Laila. It’s important to note that Abhishek and Laila never publicly accepted their alleged relationship. The pair has been captured together on a couple of occasions but stayed away from addressing the true status of the relationship.

Faisal is a London-educated entrepreneur and also a fashion designer. She remains the co-founder of LRF Designs, which is a luxury fashion and lifestyle label. Her mother, Roohi Faisal, has also helped Laila in it.

She reposted the famous 135-run knock of Abhishek on the social media platforms with a supportive caption. She was also reportedly seen attending the Indian Premier League (IPL) games for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) along with the India games.

The fans have noticed Faisal spending time with Abhishek’s sister, Komal Sharma. Despite the speculations, neither of the duo has confirmed that they are in a relationship.

The left-handed opening batter of the Indian side has smashed 1546 runs in 48 innings of the shortest format at an average of 33.60 and a blistering strike rate of 193.25, thanks to his 11 half-centuries and two centuries at the best score of 135.
