Rumours of India cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal’s personal life have been doing the rounds on social media.

India legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal has addressed the “curiosity surrounding” his personal life and requested his followers to stop speculating over “matters that may or may not be true”. Social media is in overdrive over rumours of Chahal’s alleged divorce from wife Dhanashree Verma.

After maintaining silence over the rumours, Chahal has said the speculations have left him in immense pain.

Here’s the full text of his Instagram story: –

I am grateful to all my fans for their unwavering love and support without which, I wouldn’t have come this far. But this journey is far from OVER!!! As there are still many incredible OVERS left to deliver for my country, my team, and for my fans!!! While I am proud to be a sportsman, I am also a Son, a Brother, and a Friend. I understand the curiosity surrounding recent events, particularly about my personal life. However, I have noticed certain social media posts speculating on matters that may or may not be true.

As a Son, a Brother and a Friend, I humbly request everyone not to indulge in these speculations, as they have caused immense pain to me and my family. My family values have taught me to always wish well for all, strive to achieve success through dedication and hard work, instead of taking shortcuts, and I remain committed to these values.

With Divine Blessings, I shall forever strive to seek your love & support and not sympathy.

Love all

Chahal married choreographer and reality show star Dhanashree in December 2020. Social media sleuths have been claiming the couple has split since they’ve unfollowed each other on Instagram with Chahal removing all pictures with Dhanashree on his social media account.

Chahal’s post has come a day after Dhanashree slammed faceless trolls for her “character assasination”

“The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What’s truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact- checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate,” Dhanashree wrote on Instagram.
