The highly anticipated India vs. New Zealand Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai was thrilling, with Team India securing a remarkable victory. While the match itself captivated millions, another highlight of the event was Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal being spotted alongside RJ Mahvash in the stands. Their appearance together quickly became a talking point among fans and netizens, fueling speculation about their relationship.
Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash Seen Together at the Final
On Sunday, Yuzvendra Chahal was seen enjoying the high-stakes final match between India and New Zealand from the stands. Accompanying him was RJ Mahvash, and the duo was seen enthusiastically cheering for Team India. Several pictures of them together surfaced online, attracting significant attention from fans and followers.
In the widely shared images, RJ Mahvash sported a casual look, wearing a white crop-top and black sunglasses, while Chahal was dressed in a black jacket over a matching t-shirt. The two appeared deeply engrossed in the game, with one particular moment capturing Chahal leaning in and whispering something to RJ Mahvash. This interaction set off a wave of speculation regarding their bond, with social media users posting numerous comments on their presence together.
A fan noted, “The girl behind Chahal is RJ Mahvash,” while another remarked, “Chahal and RJ Mahvash watching the Champions Trophy final in Dubai.” Others went on to compare RJ Mahvash with Chahal’s estranged wife, Dhanashree Verma, with one user writing, “RJ Mahvash is much cuter than Dhanashree.” Some even pointed out the close age difference between Mahvash and Dhanashree, sparking further discussions.
RJ Mahvash Responds to Dating Rumors
This is not the first time RJ Mahvash has been linked with Yuzvendra Chahal. Speculations regarding their relationship initially surfaced last year when a photograph of them together at a Christmas celebration went viral. In response to the rumors, Mahvash took to Instagram to clarify her stance.
In a strongly worded statement, she expressed her frustration over the baseless gossip. “Some articles and speculations have been circulating the internet. It’s funny to see how baseless these rumors are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I’m sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?” she wrote.
Furthermore, she hinted at external forces trying to drag her name into the controversy, adding, “I have been patient for 2-3 days now, but I won’t let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people’s images. Let people live in peace with their friends and family during tough times.”
Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s Divorce
The chatter around Chahal and RJ Mahvash coincides with the ongoing divorce proceedings between Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma. The couple, who tied the knot in December 2020, first met during the COVID-19 pandemic when Chahal approached Dhanashree for dance lessons. However, their relationship soon hit a rough patch, and rumors of their separation began circulating after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Last month, Chahal’s lawyer, Nitin K Gupta, confirmed that the cricketer had filed for divorce. In an official statement to the media sources, he revealed, “Mr. Chahal settled for obtaining divorce by mutual consent with Mrs. Verma. A petition for divorce by mutual consent was presented before the Hon’ble Family Court, Bandra. The matter is currently sub-judice.”
Clarifications on Alimony Speculations
Amid the ongoing legal proceedings, rumors suggested that Dhanashree Verma was seeking a ₹60 crore alimony settlement. However, her family quickly issued a statement dismissing these claims as entirely false.
The statement read, “We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumors whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation. Reckless reporting like this only causes harm, and we urge the media to exercise restraint, fact-check before spreading misinformation, and be respectful of everyone’s privacy.”
