Urvashi Rautela attends DC vs MI IPL 2023 match, shares clips on social media
Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela attended the Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match played as part of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 11. The showbiz star shared many glimpses of her visit to the stadium on social media.
Rautela was in the news last year when she claimed during an interview with a Bollywood portal that a certain ‘RP’ waited for hours to meet her in a hotel lobby while she was in Delhi. Since Rautela and Rishabh Pant were reportedly dating a few years back, fans guessed that she was talking about the keeper-batter.
Subsequently, Pant hit out at the actor with a social media post that he soon deleted. Rautela too took a dig at the cricketer through a Facebook post. After the controversy, she even attended the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2022 matches in the UAE.
On Tuesday, Rautela shared a number of clips from her visit to the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the DC vs MI IPL 2023 match on her Instagram Stories.
Speaking of the match, Delhi Capitals went down to Mumbai Indians by six wickets, registering their fourth consecutive defeat in the ongoing edition.
Mumbai won the toss and opted to bowl first in the game. Jason Behrendorff and Piyush Chawla claimed three wickets each as DC were bowled out for 172 in 19.4 overs.
