Yuzvendra Chahal has done a lot of work for Team India. He was among the players who helped India shift momentum in multiple crucial moments. But, in recent times, it has been multiple off-the-field moments and a lot of rumours, which have been overshadowing his well-decorated career.
Not only for the Men in Blue, but the spin wizard is among the few spinners who have achieved milestones in the Indian Premier League as well. Because of the growing speculations, mostly around his personal life, the cricket fans might have gone from forgetting about his heroics.
Yuzvendra Chahal opened up about all the speculations
During a recent conversation with India Today in a live show, Chahal said that he has accustomed himself to all the running speculations around. The star cricketer flawlessly stated that he doesn’t even care what people are saying about him, as long as it is only about the cricketer and not attached to any other person.
Your daily dose of cricket!
I don’t mind it a little bit as long as it’s about me, in a good, positive way, or even in a fun way. That’s part of the profession. You’re in the public eye, and people will talk,” Chahal said on India Today’s Salaam Cricket.
They don’t know anything about it: Chahal
The spinner said that when someone is dragged into a narrative without his consent, that hurts him. He stated that it is wrong when someone is deliberately linked up with him for no reason.
“When you start associating someone else’s name with it, that’s when it becomes wrong. Hey, they don’t know anything about it, and suddenly they’re being discussed for no reason,” he added.

The Haryana-born further emphasises that when a boy and a girl are going out together, it does not mean that they are dating each other or that they are in a relationship, as it can be only a meeting with friends.
“It’s not necessary that if a boy and a girl are going out, they’re boyfriend and girlfriend or that something is going on. Sometimes you’re just meeting friends,” he explained.
I don’t care: Chahal
The 35-year-old further claimed that, over the years, he managed to grow a thick skin; he does not even care what people believe about him. But words do have emotions, which could influence the close associates of Yuzvendra Chahal, like his family members.
“I can adjust, but what about family? I can adjust. I don’t care. But my sisters are also there with me. My parents are also there. They read these things,” he said.
Chahal’s personal life became a topic of discussion when he married Dhanashree Verma. There was a series of videos and podcasts describing their early relations and how they broke up.
After the divorce, Chahal was spotted with RJ Mahvash in multiple instances, and now, netizens are speculating about the possible growing relationship between Yuzvendra Chahal and well-known television personality Shefali Bagga.
