Xtra Time Web Desk: While India took on New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final on March 9 in Dubai, Yuzvendra Chahal seemed to be stepping into a new phase of his life off the field. The out-of-favour Indian leg-spinner, who recently finalized his divorce from Dhanashree Verma, was spotted in the stands, enjoying the match alongside a mystery woman.

As soon as visuals of Chahal with the unidentified woman surfaced online, social media erupted with speculation. Fans quickly started debating whether this was Chahal’s new relationship or just a casual outing. The mystery woman was later identified as RJ Mahvash, a popular radio jockey and social media personality.

(Caught red-handed, brother Chahal!), while others referenced Bollywood dialogues, posting "Thukra ke mera pyaar, mera intekaam dekhegi!" Meanwhile, another fan summed up the moment perfectly: "Cameraman never disappoints."

Mahvash, however, dismissed the speculation as "baseless," but her clarification did little to curb the online frenzy.
