England's rising cricket star Jacob Bethell is making headlines, but this time, it's not for his game. His personal life is the new talk of the town.
Social media is buzzing with rumours that Bethell is dating a girl of Indian origin. A cosy photo of the cricketer with a mystery girl has gone viral, adding fuel to the fire.
In the picture, Bethell has his arm around a girl's shoulder in a very romantic pose. But her face isn't clearly visible, leaving fans and netizens guessing who she is.
A few days ago, England's Jacob Bethell came here to play in the World Cup and stayed for 2 months, then came to play in the IPL and stayed for two months.
Now, news of his affair is coming to light.

Social media detectives are pretty sure the girl is Indian. Many believe she is Ankita Patel, a well-known celebrity makeup artist from Mumbai. Ankita has worked with big Bollywood names like Shilpa Shetty, Palak Tiwari, and Hina Khan. However, neither Jacob nor Ankita has said anything officially about these dating rumours. So, the suspense is still on.
But wait, there's a twist. It's not just Ankita. Jacob Bethell's name is also being linked with young Indian actress Aadhya Anand. Some social media users claim the two got very close during the IPL. Fans have also pointed out that Jacob regularly likes Aadhya's posts on social media.
Looks like the England all-rounder has been clean bowled by an Indian girl. But who is the lucky lady? We'll only know for sure when Jacob Bethell himself decides to spill the beans.
