RJ Mahvash's Reaction to Yuzvendra Chahal's Hat-trick Sparks Buzz: 'God mode on…'

Punjab Kings' spinner Yuzvendra Chahal shifted the game's momentum at Chepauk on Wednesday evening, achieving a remarkable hat-trick against Chennai Super Kings in the 2025 IPL. As cricket fans celebrated, RJ Mahvash’s thrilled response captured much of the online focus, reviving dating rumors about them.

Soon after Chahal eliminated MS Dhoni, Deepak Hooda, and Anshul Kamboj in one over, Mahvash went to Instagram to share her admiration. “God mode on kyaaaa? @yuzi\_chahal23 strength of a warrior, sir,” she shared, attracting the attention of online users. Her post quickly became viral, especially amid rumors about her speculated relationship with the star spinner.

Chahal's performance, which included his second IPL hat-trick and the first of the 2025 season, also saw him set a record for the most four-wicket hauls (9) in IPL history. Finishing with figures of 4/32 in three overs, he significantly helped limit CSK to 190.

Social media was filled with reactions, from memes and celebratory posts to discussions about RJ Mahvash and Chahal’s rumored relationship. This isn’t the first time Mahvash has hinted at something. In a previous mobile app promotion, she playfully said, “Team banao aur paisa kamao, wicket toh Chahal le hi lega,” adding to the speculation.

Adding to the excitement, Punjab Kings' co-owner Preity Zinta also joined in the celebration.

Yeahhhhhh !!! We won. What a superb team effort! Captain’s knock, Opener’s 50, an amazing hat-trick & stunning catches. What a brilliant chase on a tricky ground, almost giving me a last-over heart attack. So proud of the way Sadda Punjab played. I’m a happy girl tonight. Ting!

The speculation about Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash's relationship reached a fever pitch when Mahvash posted pictures from the stadium on her Instagram handle, captioning them, “One for supporting your people through thick and thin and standing behind them like a rock! We are all here for you, @yuzi_chahal23,” with sparkle and evil eye emojis. This ambiguous post, along with her presence at the match and her viral cheering video, left fans wondering if it was a confirmation of their rumored romance.

It's worth noting that Yuzvendra Chahal was previously married to Dhanashree Verma, a popular choreographer and social media influencer. They married in 2020 after nearly five years of dating but decided to part ways and officially divorced in March of this year.
