Yuzvendra Chahal has done a lot of work for Team India. He was one of the players who helped India change the momentum at several crucial moments. But lately, there have been several off-field moments and plenty of rumors that have overshadowed his well-decorated career.
Not just for the Men in Blue, but the spin wizard is among the few spinners who have also achieved milestones in the Indian Premier League. Due to the growing speculations, especially about his personal life, the cricket fans may not have forgotten his exploits.
Yuzvendra Chahal opened up about all the speculations
Speaking recently to India Today on a live show, Chahal said that he has become accustomed to all the speculations going around. The star cricketer flawlessly stated that he doesn’t even care what people say about him as long as it is about the cricketer and not attached to anyone else.
Your daily dose of cricket!
I don’t mind as long as it’s about me, in a good, positive way, or even in a fun way. That’s part of the job. You are in the public eye and people will talk,” Chahal said on India Today’s Salaam Cricket.
They don’t know anything about it: Chahal
The spinner said that when someone is dragged into a story without his consent, it hurts him. He stated that it is wrong for someone to be deliberately associated with him without any reason.
“If you start associating someone else’s name with it, it becomes wrong. Hey, they don’t know anything about it, and suddenly they’re being talked about for no reason,” he added.

The Haryana native further emphasizes that when a boy and a girl go out together, it does not mean that they are dating each other or that they are in a relationship as it could just be a meeting with friends.
“It’s not necessary for a guy and a girl to date that they’re boyfriend and girlfriend or there’s anything going on. Sometimes you’re just meeting friends,” he explained.
I don’t care: Chahal
The 35-year-old further claimed that he managed to grow a thick skin over the years; he doesn’t even care what people believe about him. But words do have emotions that can affect Yuzvendra Chahal’s close associates, such as his family members.
“I can adapt, but what about my family? I can adapt. I don’t care. But my sisters are there too. My parents are there too. They read these things,” he said.
Chahal’s personal life became a topic of discussion when he married Dhanashree Verma. There was a series of videos and podcasts detailing their early relationships and how they broke up.
After the divorce, Chahal was spotted with RJ Mahvash several times and now netizens are speculating about the possible growing relationship between Yuzvendra Chahal and famous television personality Shefali Bagga.
