The recent news headlines have been filled with divorce rumours between veteran Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma. Amidst all these talks of divorce, Chahal was present with his fellow Indian cricketer and Punjab Kings cricketer, Shreyas Iyer, in an episode of Big Boss 18. Another Punjab Kings cricketer, Shashank Singh, was also present in the show.
Chahal was wearing a T-shirt, blue denim jeans, and bright yellow sneakers. The leg spinner did not hold any interaction with the paparazzi and headed straight into the van. However, he came back to pose for a photo for the paparazzi, wearing cargo pants and a white jacket over his black T-shirt.
Chahal, Iyer and Singh were seen in a jovial mood when they were asked for a photo by the paparazzi. According to several reports, the three cricketers will be present in the upcoming episode ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode of ‘Bigg Boss 18’, which will be hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

A few days ago, the leg spinner talked about the rumours in the media regarding his divorce with his wife. He expressed that he understood the curiosity about the events related to his personal life but asked the people to stop talking about rumours about his personal life as it had affected his family and his close ones.
“I understand the curiosity surrounding recent events, particularly about my personal life. However, I humbly request everyone not to indulge in speculation as it has caused immense pain to me and my family,” he wrote.
Yuzvendra Chahal was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction
Chahal has been part of 72 ODI matches for the Indian cricket team and has picked up 121 wickets at an average of 27.13. He has been part of 80 T20Is for the national team and has scalped 96 wickets at an average of 25.09. The leg spinner has been out of the reckoning for a place in the national team in white-ball cricket for quite some time. However, he has continued to perform in every season of the IPL.
Despite being in stunning form for Rajasthan Royals, the franchise did not retain him ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Punjab Kings bought Chahal for Rs 18 crore. He is the highest wicket-taker for India in T20I cricket but still has not played a single T20 World Cup match for the team.
