Dating rumours involving Tilak Varma and Telugu actor Sreeleela have resurfaced after a viral video featuring Suryakumar Yadav triggered fresh speculation online.
The clip, now widely circulating on Instagram, Reddit and X, shows Suryakumar seemingly teasing Tilak by saying he is “in love” while the Mumbai Indians batter walks through a hotel lobby wearing headphones. Although Suryakumar did not mention anyone by name, many fans quickly linked the comment to the ongoing rumours surrounding Sreeleela.
However, a source close to the actor denied the speculation, saying there is “absolutely no truth” to the rumours and claiming the two have never met or spoken to each other.
How The Speculation Began
Rumours connecting Tilak and Sreeleela first started during the IPL season after Sreeleela’s mother, Dr Swarnalatha, was reportedly spotted at Mumbai Indians’ match against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala.
Social media users soon began speculating about a possible connection between the actor and the young cricketer. The buzz intensified after claims surfaced online that a member of Sreeleela’s team had allegedly been seen wearing a jersey with “Tilak” written on it during another match.
Fans also pointed to unverified social media activity between the two, including rumours that they may have unfollowed each other online.
Viral Video Sparks Fresh Buzz
The latest round of speculation began after the Suryakumar-Tilak clip started trending across fan pages.
In the video, Tilak appears focused and does not respond to the comment, but the brief interaction was enough to send social media into overdrive. Fans quickly interpreted the moment as a possible hint toward the dating rumours, despite no direct reference being made to Sreeleela.
The rumours have especially gained traction among younger cricket fans, with Tilak enjoying a strong fan following online due to his performances for the Mumbai Indians and the Indian team.
Fans Urge Caution Over Rumours
As speculation spread, several Reddit users urged people not to jump to conclusions based on viral moments or stadium appearances. Many pointed out that actors and celebrities frequently attend IPL matches and are often linked with cricketers without evidence. Others argued that social media theories should not be treated as confirmation of a relationship.
Neither Tilak nor Sreeleela has publicly addressed the rumours.
While Sreeleela is currently busy shooting filmmaker Anurag Basu’s upcoming film opposite Kartik Aaryan, Tilak recently achieved another major milestone after being named captain of the India A squad for the upcoming ODI tri-series in Sri Lanka.
