Rumours have swirled across social media and cricket fan circles regarding a possible romantic relationship between former Indian opener Murali Vijay and sports presenter Grace Hayden, daughter of Australian cricket legend Matthew Hayden. The speculation gained traction following a Instagram user sharing an image of Vijay and Grace during their visit to Chennai, but what is the reality behind these rumours?
Are Murali Vijay and Grace Hayden in a relationship?
Despite the growing gossip on social media, there is no credible evidence to suggest that Murali Vijay and Grace Hayden are dating. Their interactions, both online and in public, have remained cordial and centered around their shared love for cricket and Chennai.
In fact, the photo making rounds on the internet is from Hayden’s visit to Chennai in 2023. During her trip, she explored the city’s culture and beaches, sharing her experiences on social media.
Further, Grace has been open in interviews about her admiration for Indian culture and cricket, but there has been no mention of a personal relationship with Vijay or any other cricketer. Her focus has largely been on her career, her love for Indian food, and her support for players like Rishabh Pant, whom she described as an inspiration.
