Yuzvendra Chahal, the Indian leg-spinner, was recently spotted with a mystery woman during the Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand. This appearance comes amid ongoing divorce rumors with his wife, Dhanashree Verma. Speculations about their separation intensified after Chahal unfollowed Dhanashree on Instagram and removed their pictures together. In response, Dhanashree addressed the rumors, criticizing the spread of baseless information and character assassination by faceless trolls.
Chahal’s personal life has been under public scrutiny recently. He was notably excluded from Haryana’s squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts, a decision clarified by the Haryana Cricket Association as a move to groom younger talent, specifically introducing leg-spin all-rounder Parth Vats. The association emphasized that this decision was made in consultation with Chahal and was unrelated to his matters.
Additionally, Chahal shared a cryptic message on social media, expressing gratitude for divine protection, which further fueled public curiosity about his circumstances.
Despite these personal challenges, Chahal remains professionally active. He is set to play for the Punjab Kings in the upcoming IPL 2025 season, having been acquired for a record ₹18 crore during the mega auction.
As of now, Chahal has not publicly commented on his recent appearance at the Champions Trophy final or the identity of his companion.
