The Indian cricket circuit is no stranger to the intersection of sports and entertainment, but few players make headlines like the leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Recently, when Chahal was seen stepping out of a high-end restaurant with the popular sports anchor and former Bigg Boss 13 contestant, Mumbai paparazzi went wild. Shefali Bagga.
The scene, captured in viral snippets on social media, has sent rumor mongers into a frenzy, especially after Chahal’s curious digital distance from the rumor flame. RJ Mahwash.
During the outing, Chahal maintained a restrained aesthetic, wearing a classic black shirt with faded blue denim. Bagga, known for her stunning screen presence, completed the evening in a sleek black bodycon dress. While the two walked the short distance to their vehicles, they maintained a professional distance and did not make any statements to the hovering photographers. Despite the lack of an official “hard launch” or even a cryptic Instagram story, the timing of this appearance has prompted netizens to analyze every frame for clues about the bowler’s current relationship status.

Chahal’s digital unfollow and Mehvash mystery
What makes this scene especially powerful is the currently echoing silence on Yuzvendra’s Instagram following list. Observer fans recently reported that Chahal and Mahvash have unfollowed each other. In the modern age of celebrity culture, social media humiliation is often seen as the definitive end of a chapter. Although both parties previously laughed off dating rumors in 2024, saying that they were just friends, the sudden digital separation has led many to believe that a quiet rift had taken place behind the scenes.
This pattern of public scrutiny is something Chahal has become accustomed to. Her personal life has been the subject of intense national discussion since her high-profile marriage to choreographer Dhanashree WormA In 2020. After years of viral dance collaborations and public support at IPL matches, the couple’s journey reached a legal conclusion with their divorce being finalized in early 2025. Since then, the veteran spinner has remained largely silent about his personal matters, instead focusing on his domestic cricket commitments and fitness.
As of now, neither Chahal nor Bagga have clarified the nature of their bond. Whether this was a casual meeting between friends or the beginning of a new high-profile pairing remains to be seen. For now, Chahal seems content with his bowling on the field, even as his dinner choices continue to trend globally.
