"Pure country ko pata hai ab to" - Yuzvendra Chahal makes cryptic comment on his relationship status

Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal recently joked about his relationship status. During his appearance on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', the 34-year-old was asked about the mystery girl in his life.

While Chahal avoided taking any names, he cheekily remarked that all of India knows who she is. Here's what the crafty spinner said on the Netflix show (as quoted by Times of India):

"Pure country ko pata hai ab toh (The entire country knows about it now)."

It is worth mentioning that Yuzvendra Chahal tied the knot with Dhanashree Verma, a choreographer by profession, on December 22, 2020. Their first interaction took place during the COVID-19 lockdown in the country, with the ace bowler approaching Verma for online dance classes.

However, their marriage ended earlier this year. The two were granted a divorce by a family court in Mumbai on March 20. According to reports, the couple had been living separately since 2022.

Meanwhile, Chahal was accompanied by Team India players Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir at 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. During a segment, Pant joked about Chahal's relationship status by calling him a "free man".
