Yuzvendra Chahal’s ex wife, Dhanashree Verma, has been accusing the star leg-spinner on the OTT reality show “Rise and Fall” virtually every day. On March 20, 2025, the Bandra family court in Mumbai granted them a divorce after they filed a combined petition for mutual consent. The couple married in December 2020, although had been living separately since June 2022.
Shikhar Dhawan appeared in a video with his long-time friend Chahal in the aftermath of Dhanashree’s claims. In the video, Chahal is assured in the background audio, “We’ll get you married, son.
“Let me marry first.” In this amusing video, the leg spinner is portrayed as Shikhar Dhawan’s son.
Chahal, surprised, says, “Papa, are you married?” Dhawan’s girlfriend, Sophie Shine, joins the fray. The former India opener declares, “This is your third mother.” Dhawan then gives Chahal, who is in disbelief, something to eat. This video quickly gained traction on social media platforms.

Dhawan retired from all forms of international and domestic cricket on August 24, 2024. Since then, he has been playing in Legends leagues around the world. Recently, he was one of the first Indian players to take an active stand of not playing against Pakistan during the World Championship of Legends in England.
Meanwhile, Chahal is trying to reclaim his spot in the Indian team. The highest wicket-taker of all time in IPL has not played international cricket since August 2023. Chahal has played 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is for India, bagging 121 and 96 wickets, respectively.
Last year, Chahal was a part of the Punjab Kings setup. The 35-year-old accounted for 16 wickets from 14 matches at an average of 26.88. Chahal will look to make a mark in domestic cricket this season and earn a recall to the Indian team.
