On the non-public side, Yuzvendra Chahal divorced his wife Dhanashree Verma in a Mumbai family court last yr. After that, he was linked with RJ Mahvash and sports presenter Shefali Bagga, but none of them confirmed these dating rumours.

Yuzvendra Chahal’s comment on an Instagram post went viral on social media earlier this yr. This happened when the Haryana-born cricketer said he’s able to get married again, just a couple of months after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. He wrote (via The Times of India):
“Shadi k lie ready hoon bas ladki chahiye (I’m ready for marriage, only need a woman).”
After his separation from Dhanashree Verma, Yuzvendra Chahal shared that he went through a really tough time and even had suicidal thoughts after being accused of cheating. Speaking on a podcast with Raj Shamani in 2025, he said (via News18):
“After my divorce, I used to be called a cheater. And I even have never cheated in my life. I’m an especially loyal person. You wouldn’t even discover a loyal person like me. I deeply care about my people. (On people’s opinion) That’s what affects me, that you just guys don’t even know what has happened, and yet you might be blaming me.”
On the skilled side, Yuzvendra Chahal is the best wicket-taker in IPL history. Punjab Kings retained him for an enormous ₹18 crore last yr. The 35-year-old has taken three wickets in three matches up to now this season.
Other than the IPL, he has played 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is for India national cricket team. He’ll next be seen in motion when Punjab Kings tackle Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 16.
