The excitement of India’s historic win in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand has been palpable across the nation. However, amidst the celebrations, another story has captured the attention of cricket enthusiasts and social media users alike: the joint appearance of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and popular radio jockey Mahvash at the final match in Dubai.
India’s victory
India secured a thrilling four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final, held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The team, captained by Rohit Sharma, successfully chased down New Zealand’s score of 251-7, with Rohit contributing 76 runs and KL Rahul adding an unbeaten 34. This win marked India’s third Champions Trophy title, following their previous victories in 2002 and 2013.
Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash’s appearance
Yuzvendra Chahal, after his recent divorce with choreographer Dhanashree Verma, was spotted cheering for India alongside Mahvash. The duo’s presence together has reignited dating rumours that began circulating after they were seen together during Christmas celebrations last year. Mahvash, known for her engaging content on social media, was seen enthusiastically supporting the Indian team, waving the national flag and sharing moments from the match on her social media platforms.
“Kaha tha na jita ke aungi, I am good luck for team India,” Mahvash captioned her post.
