Ever since, the first edition of the IPL was rolled out in 2008 by then IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, it has become an explosive cocktail of high adrenaline action and glamor. Often, the beautiful and stylish celebrities are seen cheering their favorite players and team from the executive box. In the early editions of the tournament, there were controversial after-match parties that added oomph and glamour to the tournament. But, they were banned, couple of seasons ago. However, the presence of countless sexy and hot WAGs on the sidelines has ensured that there is no shortage of star quality and sex appeal. Here, are some of the hottest and sexiest WAGs, who have dazzled spectators in this year’s edition of twenty overs tournament.
We will start our list with one of the most well-known WAGs – Anushka Sharma. Anushka is one of the most popular young Indian actresses and has host of commercial hit movies such as ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi,’ ‘Band Baaja Baaraat,’ and ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan.’ Also, she was part of ‘PK,’ which is the highest-grossing Indian film of all time. Anushka received even more coverage than the entire cricket team itself from some national news channels after India’s World Cup semi-final humiliation against Australia. The leggy actress is often seen cheering her boyfriend Virat Kohli. She has been a steady and constant presence in Royal Challenger Bangalore’s home and away matches. And, we are eager to see her play role of an aspiring jazz singer in Anurag Kashyap’s historical drama ‘Bombay Velvet.’

Steve Smith proved to be an absolute nuisance for the Indian cricket team during the tour of Australia.

She is often seen behind the bowling machine, when Steve is working on his batting and she often scolds him for going for wrong shots. Now, that is how you can learn to bat better. Dani is a former competitive swimmer and water polo player. And, when she isn’t berating and praising her boyfriend for his performances, she is busy studying for a law degree.

Jessica Bratich-Johnson
Jessica Bratich-Johnson, who is a black belt in karate is a perfect match for Mitchell Johnson, who is well known for making batsmen break into cold sweat on prospect of facing his fearsome bowling. Doubtful, of what I wrote now, just ask the English batsmen, who were decimated during the Ashes by his quick and intimidating bowling. Anyways, back to the topic. Jessica was a successful athlete before she turned to her new passion, fashion designing. She has won a bronze medal at the 2006 Karate World Championships in Finland. Since making debut at the Perth fashion week, her Metal Works brand has become commercially successful. The couple has a daughter together named Rubika Ann, who was born in December 2012.
Shane Watson and his sports presenter wife Lee Furlong have been together since 2006. The couple, last month, announced that they were all set to welcome a new member into their family of three, which includes their son Will, who was born in March 2013. The child would be a perfect wedding anniversary present for the couple that got married in May 2010 in a low-key ceremony on NSW’s Central Coast. In a recent interview, the Fox Sports presenter had opened up about motherhood; she talked about the confidence and happiness, their son has brought in her life. We wish that they would have more happiness this year and who knows the way Rajasthan Royals are playing, captain Watson might get something more to celebrate about.
