Upon their arrival in Mumbai, Chahal and Mahvash were seen walking with noticeable distance between them as paparazzi swarmed for photos. Neither of them posed for pictures, choosing instead to make a swift exit amid growing interest in their equation.
Though the duo has not confirmed any relationship, Mahvash has been spotted supporting Chahal and the Punjab Kings at several IPL matches this season.
In one widely circulated video, she was even seen boarding the team's official bus alongside Chahal, a moment that added fuel to the dating rumours.

Despite the buzz, RJ Mahvash recently claimed in an interview that she is 'very much single' and doesn't believe in casual dating. 'I don't understand the concept of marriage in today's time,' she said during a podcast, explaining her preference to only date someone she sees a future with.

'I am that person, like in the film Dhoom, who sees his wife and kids behind the bike,' she added. 'Shaadi ka concept samajh nahi aa raha hai, so I've put a halt to it.'
Fans continue to speculate
Her public appearances with Chahal, especially the airport sightings and her access to the PBKS team bus, have left fans curious. Many believe that the cricketer and the influencer share more than just friendship, though neither party has addressed the rumours directly.
Whether this is just a close friendship or something more, their off-field chemistry has certainly kept fans and paparazzi alike on alert during and after the IPL 2025 season.
