List of Indian cricketers who have a Tattoo of their wife's or girlfriend's name on their body

Indian cricketers are often in the spotlight not only for their performances on the field but also for their personal lives. Tattoos have become a popular way for many players to express their feelings and celebrate important relationships.

A few days ago, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh and actor-model Samreen Kaur grabbed attention after getting matching tattoos. Instead of getting their own initials, the couple chose to ink each other’s handwriting on their arms, making the tattoos more personal and meaningful.

Hardik Pandya also recently made headlines after fans noticed a change in the tattoo on his neck. Reports and social media posts claimed that his former wife Natasha’s name was removed and replaced with the letter ‘M’, linked to his current girlfriend Mahieka Sharma.

In this article, we will look at Indian cricketers who have tattoos linked to their wives or girlfriends. From names and initials to meaningful designs, these tattoos offer a glimpse into the personal side of some of India’s cricket stars.

5. Umesh Yadav

Former Indian pacer Umesh Yadav takes the fifth spot on this list. The fast bowler has a tattoo of his wife Tanya’s name on his hand, making it a special symbol of their relationship.

Umesh married fashion designer Tanya Wadhwa in 2013. The tattoo was reportedly the third one he got inked on his body, along with several other tattoos that have personal and religious meanings.

Apart from Tanya’s name, Umesh has tattoos dedicated to his mother, Lord Shiva, Lord Buddha, good luck, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. His collection of tattoos reflects some of the most important people and moments in his life.

4. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav takes the fourth spot on this list. The Indian batter has his wife Devisha Shetty’s name tattooed in English near his heart. The tattoo is a special tribute to his wife and their relationship.

Suryakumar has several other tattoos on his body that are linked to his family and personal beliefs. He has tattoos of his parents on his shoulder, while words like “Love”, “Respect” and “Pride” are also inked on his body. He also has a Maori tattoo that represents his family lineage.

The Indian star also has an evil-eye tattoo on his hand, which he got after Devisha suggested it because she believes he catches the evil eye easily. His tattoos show his love for his family and the people who are important to him.

3. Suresh Raina

Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina takes the third spot on this list. He has his wife Priyanka’s name tattooed on his left upper arm as a special tribute to their relationship.

Raina got the tattoo in August 2020, ahead of the IPL season. At the same time, he also got tattoos of his children, Gracia and Rio, on his arms.

Raina had already tattooed his daughter Gracia’s name in 2016. He later added his wife Priyanka’s name to his left upper arm and his son Rio’s name to his right forearm, making his tattoos a tribute to his family.

2. Hardik Pandya

Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya takes the second spot on this list. He does not have his wife’s name tattooed on his body, but he has a special tattoo dedicated to his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma.

Hardik has the tattoo on the back of his neck. It features the letter “M” along with two leopards, with one representing Hardik and the other representing Mahieka. The tattoo was reportedly created by Aliens Tattoo and symbolises their bond and partnership.

Hardik was previously married to model and actor Natasa Stankovic in 2020, but the couple divorced in July 2024. He was later linked to Mahieka Sharma in late 2025 and reportedly got the tattoo around Valentine’s Day in 2026 as a tribute to her.

1. Arshdeep Singh

India pacer Arshdeep Singh takes the top spot on this list. He and actor-model Samreen Kaur have got matching tattoos as a special tribute to their relationship. Instead of getting their own initials, they chose to get each other’s initials written in their own handwriting, along with a small red heart.

Arshdeep has an “SK” tattooed on his upper arm in Samreen’s handwriting, while Samreen has an “AS” tattooed in Arshdeep’s handwriting. The tattoos were done at Aliens Tattoo in Bengaluru, with the designs kept close to their original handwriting to make them more personal. Samreen also got a birth-flower tattoo during the same session.

Rumours about Arshdeep and Samreen’s relationship first surfaced during IPL 2026, when fans noticed them together on several occasions. The speculation grew after Samreen was spotted supporting Punjab Kings at matches, and the two were later seen together in Dharamsala. Arshdeep eventually confirmed their relationship through an Instagram post, introducing Samreen as “my person.”
