Yuzvendra Chahal’s remarkable spell for Punjab Kings against Chennai Super Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at Chepauk didn’t just light up the stadium, it lit up social media too. One of the most talked-about reactions came from RJ Mahvash, whose name has been linked to Chahal amid ongoing dating rumours, who was quick to celebrate the spinner’s stunning achievement.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s hat-trick seals CSK collapse in final overs
On the field, Chahal turned the tide of the game in the penultimate over of the CSK innings. Tasked with bowling the 19th, he faced off with the ever-dangerous MS Dhoni, who had just dispatched him over the ropes. However, Chahal, known for his resilience and mastery of wrist spin, held his nerve and immediately bounced back. He deceived Dhoni with a slower, flighted delivery, which resulted in a catch at long-off a critical breakthrough in the context of the game. What followed was sheer destruction as Chahal dismantled the lower order: Deepak Hooda was caught off a mistimed drive, Anshul Kamboj had his stumps rattled by a flatter delivery and Noor Ahmad holed out in the deep trying to swing big off his very first ball. In a matter of four balls, Chahal wiped out CSK’s tail and recorded his second hat-trick in IPL history. He wrapped up his spell with figures of 4/32 in 3 overs, helping Punjab bowl out CSK for 190 in 19.2 overs.
RJ Mahvash showers praise on Chahal after hat-trick heroics against CSK
Moments after Chahal’s sensational hat-trick, Mahvash took to her Instagram stories to pen a heartfelt tribute, writing, ‘God mode on kya??? @yuzi_chahal23 — strength of a warrior, sir,’ encapsulating both admiration for his on-field brilliance and a personal tone that further fueled buzz around their relationship.
While Chahal’s cricket continues to make headlines, it’s his personal life that is drawing just as much attention. Ever since his separation from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year, speculations around his equation with Mahvash, the popular radio jockey and social media personality, have picked up pace. Their increasing public appearances together, particularly during India’s matches in the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, have fueled rumors that the duo may be more than just friends. Mahvash’s heartfelt Instagram story only added to the speculation, with many noting the blend of affection and pride in her words. Though neither has made any public statement regarding the nature of their relationship, their online camaraderie and presence at key cricketing events continue to draw interest.
