Dhanashree, a renowned choreographer, met Chahal during the COVID-19 pandemic when he joined her online dance classes. Their love story blossomed, and they got married on December 22, 2020.

Chahal stated, “She observes me very well, especially my bowling. Just two weeks ago, I discovered that she can sometimes predict where I’ll bowl. I’m relieved that she’s only on my side. And she isn’t going to tell anyone about it.”

Verma on Field

Yuzvendra Chahal will be playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2023 season, and they will be facing off against Shikhar Dhawan’s Punjab Kings at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, April 5.
