Virat Kohli’s picture clicked with a mystery girl at the team hotel in Dharamsala had gone viral with the internet demanding to find answers to the question “Who is the girl?”. IPL never stops amusing us when some events like these arrive every year, where some new person is discovered in the stands cheering for teams and clicking with cricketers, leading to inquisitiveness by the internet to find out her whereabouts. Turns out she is Kashmira Pardesi, the girlfriend of PBKS cricketer Nehal Wadhera.

She became viral a few matches earlier during the Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings game when the camera man, usually doing his job, cut the focus from the game to the stands and a woman was seen cheering for PBKS. Those few seconds were enough for Kashmira to go viral all over the internet as people started drooling over her beauty.

In no time, the internet figured out she is Nehal Wadhera’s girlfriend.

Who is Kashmira Pardesi?

Kashmira is not at all an unknown personality. She has been working in films for years, making a name for herself. She has worked across Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films. She started her career with the Telugu film Nartanasala in 2018 and later made her Tamil debut with Sivappu Manjal Pachai in 2019. In the same year, she also appeared in the Hindi film Mission Mangal. She made her digital debut in the Hindi web series The Freelancer in 2023.

But the attention that she received during match day and clicking a picture with Virat Kohli was immense. Although there is no official announcement by Kashmira and Nehal Wadhera being in a relationship, the rumours are strong enough to overthrow.

Nehal Wadhera is currently going through a lean patch in the 2026 IPL season with the Punjab Kings, scoring only 65 runs across 6 innings at an average of 10.83 and a strike rate of 114.03.
