Earlier, the two were spotted chatting after the 43rd over of New Zealand's innings when the scoreboard read 184 runs at the loss of 5 wickets. The two were also seen in actor Vivek Oberoi's Instagram video when the actor asked him about the probable outcome of the match. Responding to the same, the cricketer raised his support for India. Apparently, the cricketer also follows the social media star on Instagram and was even interviewed by her back in 2022.
While Chahal parted ways with his wife Dhanashree, he was rumoured to be dating Mahvash after they were spotted leaving a hotel. Reacting to the reports, the influencer shared a statement which read, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours 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?"
"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," she added.
Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal tied the knot in December 2020 in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram. The two met during the pandemic when Chahal approached her for dance lessons. The rumours about Dhanashree and Chahal's divorce began after the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, which sparked widespread speculation. Amid the chaos, they've also been sharing cryptic posts. According to ABP News, the couple is expected to complete the final proceedings after which they will be officially divorced. It is said that the decision to split was through mutual consent.
