Veteran Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed attention after being seen with social media influencer RJ Mahvash during the Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday. The 34-year-old cricketer is currently facing a challenging phase in his personal life amid reports of his divorce from wife Dhanashree Verma, as per an NDTV report.
Chahal’s presence with Mahvash has sparked curiosity among fans, leading to widespread discussions on social media. This isn’t the first time the two have been seen together—back in December last year, Mahvash shared a picture with Chahal, fueling speculation about their relationship.
