Yuzvendra Chahal’s old post on marriage goes viral after divorce with Dhanashree Verma

A week after his divorce, Punjab Kings and India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's old post regarding marriage has gone viral on the internet. Dhanashree Verma and Chahal had filed for divorce and a family court in Bombay has granted decree on their joint petition.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma tied the knot back in December 2020 and, as per the petition, they separated in June 2022. The case was fast-tracked to ensure that Chahal would be available for the beginning of the 2025 IPL season.

Images of Chahal wearing a t-shirt with the inscription, "Be your own sugar daddy" were doing the rounds on the internet. Soon after, one of the leg spinner's old posts on X (formerly Twitter) went viral on the internet, with the post reading:

"MARRIAGE is just a fancy word for adopting an over-grown male child who can't be handled by his parents anymore ..=))."
