New Delhi: Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has spoken for the first time over rumours of an impending divorce with wife Dhanashree Verma. After getting engaged on August 8, 2020, the leg spinner married the dance choreographer and dentist on December 22, 2020 in Gurgaon.
But recent reports have hinted at a breakdown of their marriage that would lead to divorce, which had earlier forced Verma to slam trolls directed towards her and Chahal.
The right arm bowler posted a lengthy message on his Instagram account on “social media posts speculating on matters that may or may not be true”, saying those have caused him and his family immense pain.

“I am grateful to all my fans for their unwavering love and support without which, I wouldn’t have come this far. But this journey is far from OVER!!! As there are still many incredible OVERS left to deliver for my country, my team, and for my fans!!! While I am proud to be a sportsman, I am also a Son, a Brother, and a Friend.
“I understand the curiosity surrounding recent events, particularly about my personal life. However, I have noticed certain social media posts speculating on matters that may or may not be true,” he said.
“As a Son, a Brother and a Friend, I humbly request everyone not to indulge in these speculations, as they have caused immense pain to me and my family. My family values have taught me to always wish well for all, strive to achieve success through dedication and hard work, instead of taking shortcuts, and I remain committed to these values. With Divine Blessings, I shall forever strive to seek your love & support and not sympathy.
‘Incredibly tough’
Verma had earlier also requested people not to spread hate that put his family under duress.
“The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What’s truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve worked hard for years to build my name and integrity. My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength. While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others.
“I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification.”
