Overview:
Chahal’s personal life has also been under scrutiny in recent months due to his separation from Dhanashree Verma. The couple, who married in December 2020, officially divorced in March 2025 after living separately for more than a year and a half.
Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ-turned-actor Mahvash have once again drawn public attention. Ahead of the 2025 Champions League T10, Mahvash, co-owner of the Supreme Strikers, shared an Instagram story featuring a picture with the caption, “Match Day Jai Mata Di.” This phrase caught the attention of Chahal’s fans, as he is known for using it before his own matches. Chahal had shared the same caption ahead of Northamptonshire’s One Day Cup 2025 game against Kent, staying true to his usual pre-match routine.

The pair have been spotted together on several occasions in public. Mahvash was seen with Chahal at the 2025 Champions Trophy and later cheering for Punjab Kings during the IPL 2025, which fueled speculation about their relationship. Although Mahvash has stated publicly that she is “single,” her frequent appearances with the cricketer have only fuelled speculation about their bond.
Chahal’s personal life has also been under scrutiny in recent months due to his separation from Dhanashree Verma. The couple, who married in December 2020, officially divorced in March 2025 after living separately for more than a year and a half.
Dhanashree Verma has broken her silence on the divorce in her first interview since the separation. She addressed allegations of faking her marriage and candidly reflected on the emotional challenges she has faced during this period. Shortly after the interview went viral, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal shared a cryptic post on social media, which many observers speculated was a veiled response to Verma’s remarks.
“There’s a reason we call it ‘personal life’ – It has to be private. And remember, a coin has two sides. Taali ek haath se to nahi bajti (You can’t clap with one hand) Choosing not to talk about something doesn’t give anyone the right to take advantage of that silence. It’s wrong, and no one should ever have to experience that,” Dhanashree explained in her conversation with Humans of Bombay.
Following her comments, Chahal shared a cryptic message on Instagram, saying, “Million feelings, zero words,” which many fans believed was a quiet reply to his ex-wife’s statements. The situation escalated when Dhanashree later posted another Instagram story, stating, “It’s time to rise. A new chapter begins now.”
