Speculation around Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash’s relationship has intensified following the IPL 2025 final, with both frequently spotted together at matches and public events. After Punjab Kings’ defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mahvash posted an emotional tribute to Chahal, revealing that he played the season with three fractures—his ribs and bowling finger among them—and praised his “warrior spirit”.
However, her public support drew criticism from some social media users, with one commenter alleging that Mahvash was using Chahal’s name to gain popularity and questioning her cricket credentials. The user wrote, “She’s just grabbing followers in the name of Yuzi. I bet she even started watching cricket recently”.
Mahvash responded sharply, stating, “I have been hosting cricket since 2019, your knowledge is nil chotu! Research!” Her confident reply was widely appreciated by fans, who lauded her for standing up to online trolling.
Despite persistent dating rumors, neither Chahal nor Mahvash has officially confirmed their relationship. Mahvash’s continued presence at IPL matches and her behind-the-scenes posts with the Punjab Kings have only fueled further speculation.
In her post, Mahvash emphasized Chahal’s determination, writing, “They fought, stayed, and played till the last match! And a special post to @yuzi_chahal23 because what people don’t know is that his ribs got fractured after a few matches only and his bowling finger got fractured later. This guy played the entire season with 3 fractures! We have all seen him screaming and crying in pain but have never seen him give up!”
With her assertive response, Mahvash has made it clear that she is not new to cricket and is unfazed by online criticism, reaffirming her commitment to both the sport and her professional journey.
