RJ Mahvash recently took a moment on social media to pen an emotional post for cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal after a dramatic end to IPL 2025. The spinner’s team, Punjab Kings, fell short in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, but the heartfelt note from Mahvash caught everyone’s attention. What made her message stand out was not just the warmth it carried, but also the revelations she made about Chahal’s battle through the season.
In a string of photos shared from the final match, Mahvash opened up about Chahal’s physical struggles. She disclosed that he had fractured his rib in just the second match of the tournament and later broke his bowling finger. In her words, “They fought, stayed and played till the last match! And special post to @yuzi_chahal23 because what people don’t know is that his ribs got fractured in the second match only and his bowling finger got fractured later, this guy played the entire season with 3 fractures!”
Mahvash recalled moments when Chahal would cry out in pain during matches, yet never let the discomfort overpower his determination. She admired his warrior spirit and said that watching him push through injury was inspiring. She noted how the team fought till the final ball and, although the trophy slipped from their hands, it was a season filled with grit and heart. Mahvash wrote, “We all have seen him screaming and crying in pain but have never seen him giving up.”
The RJ didn’t forget to appreciate the rest of the team too. She shared how proud she felt supporting Punjab Kings this season. Every player, every moment, and every fight mattered to her. She called it an honour to stand with the side through the tournament. Mahvash also sent congratulations to RCB and their fans for clinching the title, acknowledging the intense competition and efforts from both teams. Her words summed up the emotions of every cricket enthusiast watching the final. “The team kept fighting till the last ball! It was nothing but an honour to be a supporter of this team this year! Well played boys,” she expressed.
Cricket and IPL, as Mahvash described, a celebration of spirit, talent, and unity, praising every individual involved in making the season special. “Cricket, and IPL… my God again! Truly a festival for us Indians,” she concluded in her post.
As the post made rounds online, conversations about Mahvash and Chahal’s rumoured relationship gained fresh momentum. Speculations about the two being more than friends began months ago, particularly after Chahal’s public split from choreographer and actor Dhanashree Verma earlier this year. The divorce was finalised in March 2025, and since then, Mahvash has often been seen cheering for him, both at stadiums and online.
Despite the constant whispers about their closeness, Mahvash had addressed the chatter on a podcast not long ago. Without mentioning Chahal’s name directly, she stated she was “single and happy.” Her comment left fans guessing, as her.
