The Serbian maestro might be known for his dominance on hard courts, but Novak Djokovic has often expressed his admiration for the sport of cricket. During his visits to India, he has been spotted interacting with cricketers and even attempting a few shots with the bat. Djokovic once admitted that he finds the IPL’s format exciting and wouldn’t mind watching a game or two when in town. We’re still waiting for him to perfect the helicopter shot!

2. Roger Federer – RCB’s Unofficial Brand Ambassador?

Arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, Roger Federer has had multiple interactions with the IPL world. Back in 2015, Federer publicly supported Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and even posted a picture of himself wearing an RCB jersey. This naturally sent RCB fans into a frenzy, believing Federer’s finesse and grace aligned perfectly with their team’s aggressive yet stylish play.

Dark Humor: "RCB fans were convinced that if Federer played for them, he’d have more trophies than the actual team!"

Rafael Nadal, known for his relentless fighting spirit, shares an uncanny resemblance to MS Dhoni in terms of determination and grit. While there’s no official confirmation of his favorite IPL team, many speculate that Nadal, if given a choice, would support Chennai Super Kings (CSK) due to their never-say-die attitude and a veteran leader in Dhoni. Also, Nadal has played exhibition matches in India, further cementing his connection with the country’s sports culture.

Funny Take: "If Nadal played IPL, every game would go to a Super Over, just like his five-set thrillers!"

Andy Murray may not be as vocal as Djokovic or Federer about his cricketing interests, but the former World No. 1 has mentioned his appreciation for India’s passion for sports. While he hasn’t endorsed an IPL team outright, there’s a high possibility that Murray, known for his British roots, would lean towards Rajasthan Royals—given their historical ties to English cricket.
