Yuzvendra Chahal takes a jibe at ex-wife Dhanashree Verma.
Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has once again found himself at the center of a social media storm — and this time, it’s not about cricket. The Indian leg-spinner’s recent Instagram story has triggered widespread speculation that he took a veiled dig at his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma, while seemingly referencing a Delhi High Court ruling.
Chahal shared a screenshot of a court verdict that read, “Financially independent wives cannot demand alimony from their husbands.” Alongside it, he wrote, “Maa Kasam Khao Nahi Paltoge iss Decision Seh,” which translates to, “Swear on your mother you won’t go back on this decision.” The post, though deleted shortly after, went viral instantly, with fans debating whether it was aimed at Dhanashree or simply his way of endorsing the court’s stance.
The Post Comes Months After Divorce
Chahal’s post comes months after his much-talked-about separation from choreographer and influencer Dhanashree Verma. The two, who tied the knot in December 2020, were one of cricket’s most-followed couples before their split in March this year following proceedings at the Bombay High Court. Reports at the time suggested a settlement of around Rs 4 crore, though neither party officially confirmed the figure.
Fans were quick to connect the dots between the timing of Chahal’s story and the alleged alimony discussions, reigniting chatter around their high-profile breakup. Many social media users shared memes and reactions, calling the post a “savage move” while others urged the cricketer to “move on gracefully.”
Interestingly, the post surfaced around the same time Chahal appeared in a lighthearted reel with former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan. The duo’s Instagram collaboration, featuring influencer Sophie Shine, showed Dhawan jokingly telling Chahal, “Teri bhi shaadi karva denge beta,” leaving the spinner visibly embarrassed.
The fun clip, captioned “Ek baar phir se dulha banne ka mann hai beta… tu ruk ja thoda,” quickly went viral, earning praise for their comic timing and camaraderie. Despite the social media chaos surrounding his personal life, Chahal continues to engage fans with his humor — both on and off the field.
