Fri Feb 21 23:12:13 UTC 2025: ## Indian Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma Officially Divorce
**Mumbai, India** – Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma have officially divorced, according to reports. The couple finalized their divorce on Thursday, February 20th, at the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai. While reports initially suggested a quick and amicable split following a 45-minute counseling session recommended by the judge, Dhanashree’s lawyer, Aditi Mohan, later stated that the proceedings are ongoing.
The divorce follows cryptic social media posts from both Chahal and Verma. Chahal’s Instagram post expressed gratitude for divine protection, hinting at a difficult period. Verma’s post spoke of faith and the eventual transformation of hardship into blessings.
Chahal’s career is also facing challenges. Recently acquired by Punjab Kings for a hefty ₹18 crore in the IPL mega auction, his place in the Indian national team remains uncertain. Despite being included in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, he didn’t play, and his future with the team appears bleak due to his age (34) and competition. Throughout his career, Chahal has played 72 ODIs and 80 T20s for India, taking a combined 217 wickets.
