Yuzvendra Chahal, RJ Mahvash fuel dating rumors with latest outing amid IPL 2025

After a timid start to the campaign with Punjab Kings, Yuzvendra Chahal hogged the limelight with his recent match-winning performance against Kolkata Knight Riders. However, that was the spinner drawing attention for his on-field exploits. Off the field, there has hardly been a moment in recent times when Chahal has stayed out of the headlines. Following his divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma, the cricketer has remained in the news for his alleged closeness to a social media influencer. In a fresh wave of speculation, RJ Mahvash was seen entering the PBKS team bus alongside Chahal.

As Chahal dealt with the separation and subesquent divorce from Dhanashree Verma, the cricketer was spotted with Mahvash on multiple occassions. The duo were spotted in attendance at the India vs New Zealand ICC Champions Trophy Final. Rumors have been persistent since then. The influencer was further spotted in the stands supporting PBKS and Chahal from the stands in IPL 2025. Now, it has all intensifier with Mahvash heading to the team bus with the spinner. From being seen in the stands at PBKS games to cheering enthusiastically for the team, Mahvash has been a constant presence during the franchise’s IPL 2025 campaign.

Ahead of the PBKS vs RCB IPL 2025 clash on Sunday, Mahvash was spotted at the airport with Chahal and later seen boarding the team bus alongside him. Though not an official member of the squad, her entry into such a restricted space didn’t go unnoticed. Fans were quick to draw conclusions, convinced that something beyond friendship might be brewing.

The moment evoked memories of an earlier incident this season, when Hardik Pandya’s rumoured partner Jasmine entered the Mumbai Indians team bus, causing similar chatter online. With Mahvash now sharing a similar spotlight with Chahal, fans on social media are once again piecing together theories, decoding posts and videos for hints. A reel from the airport episode has already gone viral, raking in likes and comments.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Mahvash recently shared a flurry of Instagram stories after Chahal’s match-winning performance against Kolkata Knight Riders, a game where PBKS successfully defended the lowest total in IPL history. Among the posts was a cheerful selfie with Chahal, along with glowing praise for the 34-year-old’s heroics on the field. In a specific story, Mahvash wrote about supporting "friends". While both have maintained silence on the ongoing rumors, their ongoing antics have virtually confirmed the relationship among the keen-eyed netizens.
