India’s one-time premier leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, was interacting with two other members of the national side- the leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi and the left-arm fast bowler of the side, Arshdeep Singh, in a live on Instagram. He was under his blanket in the video as they shared fun during the conversation with Arshdeep and Bishnoi. 

Chahal told the Indian left-arm pacer that in life, he now has no wife and only a blanket. He also noted that the Punjab-born fast bowler should now get married, to which Arshdeep gave a stunning reply and asked Chahal if the latter wasn’t happy seeing him chill with life.

The next reply of Chahal was hilarious and went viral on social media platforms. He claimed that perhaps Ashdeep Singh’s bank balance had been enough at the moment. Chahal has gone through a tough time in his life after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. The couple got separated in 2022 and had been living apart for over a year before their mutual consent divorce was finalized.

The couple has been separated since 2022, which is a key factor in the Bombay High Court’s decision to waive the mandatory six-month cooling-off period. The Haryana spinner agreed to pay a settlement of INR 4.75 crore as part of the divorce terms. He had also given conflicting careers and the inability to spend time together as the key factors.

Chahal was part of the first round of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2025/26 for Haryana against Puducherry. During the contest, the leg spinner ended with 2/46 in his four overs at an economy rate of 11.50 as the opponents posted a massive score of 201/9 in their 20 overs, thanks to a 60-run knock in 35 balls from Pugazhendi Akash.

In reply, Haryana fell short of the target by five runs and lost the contest. Chahal, who has been out of the national side for more than two years despite collecting 217 wickets in white-ball cricket, aims to make one last return in Indian colors.
