Yuzvendra Chahal On Divorce T-Shirt ‘Be Your Own Sugar Daddy': ‘I Wanted To Give A Message'
Last Updated: Yuzvendra Chahal breaks silence on his viral 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' t-shirt worn during divorce, says it was a message, not a publicity stunt. Yuzvendra Chahal has finally addressed the viral moment when he wore a t-shirt that read 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy" on the day of his final divorce hearing with Dhanashree Verma. The cricketer, who had remained largely silent about the separation until recently, opened up about the intent behind the now-infamous outfit in a chat with Raj Shamani. During his appearance on the podcast, Chahal revealed that the message on his t-shirt wasn't meant to create drama but rather to send out a pointed message. 'Meko nahi karna tha drama, I just wanted to give one message and mai ne vo de diya," he said, suggesting that while he had no initial plans to make a statement, something from the other side pushed him to do so. When prodded further about the reason behind the bold slogan, Chahal laughed and hinted that something had occurred from Dhanashree's side that prompted his reaction. 'Kyunki saamne se kuch cheej hua tha, aur mera pehle mann nahi tha. Fir saamne se kuch hua toh fir mai ne kaaha ab sambhaal lo ab mujhe nahi parwah kisi ki. Mai ne na kisi ko abuse kra, bus mujhe message dena tha," he clarified, indicating that his action was more of a response than a provocation. He also opened up about the financial settlement, admitting that the negotiation process was difficult. 'I had signed a good deal," Chahal said, which made him want to move on from the marriage as quickly as possible. Something happened during that period that further solidified his decision to go ahead with the symbolic t-shirt. Delving deeper into the relationship, the Indian spinner admitted that both he and Dhanashree decided not to show any signs of their strained relationship on social media until things were final. When asked if he was faking the marriage in public, Chahal agreed with a simple 'yes." He further revealed that he hadn't spoken to Dhanashree since the 2024 World Cup and last saw her only six months ago via video call during their court proceedings. On whether he thought the relationship could have worked out, Chahal said, 'I gave my 100 percent," implying that he has no regrets about the effort he put in.

Yuzvendra Chahal Denies Dating RJ Mahvash: 'She Was Called A Homewrecker, Felt Terrible'
Last Updated: Opening up about his mental state post-divorce, Yuzvendra Chahal revealed he was deeply affected and unable to focus on cricket. Yuzvendra Chahal has finally broken his silence on the speculation surrounding his personal life, particularly his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvash after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. In a new interview, the cricketer not only clarified the nature of his bond with Mahvash but also shared the emotional turmoil he went through following the separation. Chahal firmly denied being in a relationship with anyone at present. 'No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think," he told Raj Shamani on his podcast when asked if there's anything going on with Mahvash or anyone else. When asked about falling in love again, he admitted, 'It will take time to process. I need to gather myself. I'm not afraid to fall in love again, but I'm scared of losing the person because I get attached with all my heart." Opening up about his mental state post-divorce, Chahal revealed he was deeply affected and unable to focus on cricket. 'I was constantly thinking about the divorce. I was barely sleeping, maybe an hour or two a night. I felt like my life was spiraling out of control. I was exhausted, mentally and emotionally. That's when suicidal thoughts began creeping in," he said. The bowler even took a 45-day break from cricket to recover, admitting, 'Honestly, I wouldn't wish what I went through on even my worst enemies." Addressing the rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash, Chahal recounted how online speculation took a toll on both of them. 'For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even she clarified it, but it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker… people said really nasty things. I felt terrible," he shared. Chahal said Mahvash had supported him during one of the darkest phases of his life, and he felt devastated to see her dragged into unnecessary controversies.

'We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say." Another incident that bothered him was when they were seen together at a hotel before he left for the airport. 'She offered to drop me, and while we were waiting for the car, someone recorded a video. I was just fixing my hair, and people started saying all sorts of cheap things, like we were coming out of a hotel room. That really hurt me. It was very upsetting."

Surrey beat Durham to stretch lead at top
London, July 31 (UNI) Surrey took a vital step towards the retention of the County Championship when they defeated Durham by five wickets at the Banks Homes Riverside. Indian slow left-armer, Sai Kishore, took 5-72 as Rory Burns' side dismissed Durham for 344 in their second innings and Sam Curran made 40 to help Surrey score the 176 runs they needed for their fourth victory of the season. With the game between Nottinghamshire and Somerset at Trent Bridge seemingly heading for a draw, it appears certain the 21 points Surrey earned for their victory will ensure they extend their lead at the top of the Division One table and make them even stronger favourites to clinch their fourth successive title at some point in September. However, the three points they earned from the game does nothing to ease next-to-bottom Durham's relegation concerns, although their precise situation will not be clear until the results at Scarborough, Chelmsford and Worcester are known on Friday. The third day did not go entirely according to Surrey's morning plans. For nearly 45 minutes, the spin bowling of Sai Kishore and Dan Lawrence gave Durham's overnight pair, Graham Clark and Codi Yusuf, few problems and it was no surprise when Burns took the new ball as soon as it was available. However, neither Dan Worrall nor Jordan Clark, the latter bowling to his brother, could make a breakthrough and it was left to Lawrence to take the first wicket of the day 20 minutes before lunch when Clark inside-edged a sharply turning off-spinner to Ryan Patel at short leg and departed for 42. But Clark's 71-run partnership with Yusuf had increased Durham's lead to 121 and that figure had been nudged up to 136 at the first interval, when the home side were 305-6, with Yusuf unbeaten on 38. After lunch, though, Durham lost their last four wickets for 33 runs in 10 overs and the magnitude of Surrey's task became clear. After batting for 149 minutes and facing 117 balls, Yusuf was caught at the wicket by Ben Foakes off Kishore for 43, seven short of what would have been only his second first-class fifty; Bas de Leede was then lbw for five when he pushed forward to a ball from Kishore that slid on with the arm; and the left-handed Ben Raine departed for 27 when he moved a yard or so across his stumps and was hit on the pads when trying to swing Curran to leg, according to a BBC news. Kishore then completed his first five-wicket haul for Surrey in his final spell for them this year when Matthew Potts drove him to Patel at short extra-cover and Surrey were left with the task of scoring 176 to secure their fourth win of the season. Their pursuit began in straightforward fashion. Despite being handicapped by a groin strain and needing Tom Lawes to run for him, Dom Sibley made 35 and had put on 49 with Burns before he was caught at slip by Colin Ackermann off Callum Parkinson. Patel joined his captain and the pair had put on 45 runs either side of tea before both were dismissed in the space of three balls. Having made 28, Patel was the first to go when he attempted to pull Potts through the leg side but only skied a catch to Clark at midwicket. Two balls later, Burns was stumped by Robinson off Parkinson for 24. That left Surrey on 94-3 and Durham's hopes were raised once more. Not for long, however. Curran and Lawrence took their side to 135-3, just 41 runs short of their target when the umpires decided the light was too bad and briefly took the teams off the field. When they returned, Surrey's batsmen accelerated towards their target with a flurry of boundaries. Although Curran was caught at long-on by Ben McKinney off Parkinson when nine runs were needed and Ben Foakes was bowled for seven by Potts in the next over, Clark ended the game by hitting his first ball through the covers for two.
