The personal life of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal continues to be a topic of considerable public and media attention, particularly after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. Following the split, rumors have circulated linking him to RJ Mahvash Hayat, a popular social media personality. These rumors intensified after they were spotted together at various events, and social media interactions further fueled the speculation.
Recently, Mahvash shared a cryptic post on her Instagram, which has again stirred the pot. The post, simply stating "Cancel All Noise," has been interpreted by many as a direct response to the ongoing chatter surrounding her alleged relationship with Chahal and perhaps a broader commentary on dealing with public scrutiny.
The rumors involving Chahal and Mahvash initially surfaced in late 2024, not long after reports of Chahal's separation from Dhanashree began to emerge. A Christmas photo featuring Mahvash with Chahal and his friends added fuel to the fire. The pair were later seen attending the Champions Trophy match together, further piquing public interest. An Instagram post by Chahal featuring red roses, initially tagged to Mahvash, added even more grist to the rumor mill.
Mahvash has addressed the cheating in relationships in past interviews, stating that she is single and content. She shared a clip on her Instagram story and part of her caption read, “It is their mental issue of constantly being in a state of confusion. Never satisfied. Dull souls are cheaters, men or women.” Further, in April 2025, she posted a selfie with Chahal, cheering for his team, Punjab Kings, during an IPL match, with Chahal replying, "You guys are my spine!".
Despite these public interactions, both Chahal and Mahvash have maintained that they are just friends, denying any romantic involvement. However, their frequent appearances together and supportive exchanges continue to keep the rumor mill churning.
The increased public interest in Chahal's personal life began when speculation arose about his marriage with Dhanashree Verma. Social media activity, such as unfollowing each other and deleting pictures, added to these speculations. The couple officially divorced on March 20, 2025, at the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, in the realm of cricket, Yuzvendra Chahal remains a significant figure. Born on July 23, 1990, he is a leg-spin bowler who has represented India in both ODIs and T20Is. He also plays domestic cricket for Haryana and represents Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In March 2025, it was announced that Chahal would rejoin Northamptonshire for the County Championship in England after his IPL stint. The team's coach is excited to have one of the best leg spinners in the world joining them.
Chahal's IPL career has been notable. He began with Mumbai Indians in 2011 and later joined Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), where he became a key player. In 2022, he was picked up by Rajasthan Royals and won the Purple Cap. In the IPL Auction 2025, the KXIP franchise acquired Chahal for INR 18.00 Cr.
In April 2024, Chahal achieved the milestone of becoming the first bowler to take 200 IPL wickets. He was also part of India's ICC T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2024.
