The atmosphere was electric at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Monday night, as the Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a thrilling 18-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. While the on-field action delivered fireworks, the spotlight wasn’t solely on the players. Popular social media influencer Mahvash became the talk of the town after being spotted passionately cheering for PBKS – reigniting rumours about her alleged relationship with spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
Mahvash’s bold show of support
RJ Mahvash’s enthusiastic presence in the stands didn’t go unnoticed. Clad in a white top, she was seen dancing and cheering wildly throughout the game. Her celebrations hit fever pitch after the dismissal of CSK opener Rachin Ravindra, and she was particularly animated during Priyansh Arya’s scintillating century, which laid the foundation for PBKS’s imposing total.

Mahvash also took to Instagram to share her excitement, posting a story from the stands waving the PBKS flag with the caption: “Go Punjab! You win or lose, you stars. Doesn’t matter. Go team.” Her visible joy and support for the team — and for Chahal — have reignited speculation about her off-field connection with the cricketer.
Dating rumours between Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal resurface
Buzz around Mahvash and Chahal’s rumoured relationship has been swirling since December last year, when the influencer shared a Christmas photo featuring the cricketer. The chatter only grew louder when the two were spotted together at the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai earlier this year.
Chahal, who joined PBKS this season following his high-profile separation from choreographer Dhanashree Verma, has remained tight-lipped about his personal life. However, Mahvash’s consistent appearances at matches — and her visible support for the team — continue to keep fans and gossip columns guessing.

Priyansh Arya stars as PBKS climb up the table
Amid the off-field buzz, PBKS produced a clinical performance in front of their home crowd. Priyansh Arya was the star of the night, hammering a stunning 103 off just 42 deliveries, including 9 sixes, to power PBKS to a daunting 219/6.
In response, CSK started cautiously and never quite caught up with the required rate, despite some resistance from Devon Conway and a late flourish from MS Dhoni. PBKS’s bowling unit, led by Chahal, who took two crucial wickets, ensured CSK fell 18 runs short.
This win marked PBKS’s first home victory of the season and helped them break into the top four of the points table. For fans, however, it was the perfect blend of high-octane cricket and off-field intrigue.
