When Yuzvendra Chahal Proposed Dhanashree Verma, She said ‘No…’! Know in detail

The personal lives of Indian cricketers receive the same attention as their performances on the pitch of play. Everywhere they walk, attention is drawn to them. The same is true of Yuzvendra Chahal, a great leg-spinner for Rajsthan Royals and India, and his wife, Dhanashree Verma.

The two initially connected virtually when there was lockdown due to COVID. Since, then Chahal was receiving dance lessons from Dhanashree, a very well-known dancer with a sizable online following. As their communication improved, they eventually decided to get married in December 2020.

Chahal just related a humorous story about his marriage proposal to Dhanashree. ‘When the lockdown took place. I remained with my household. I had never spent so much time at my Gurugram house before. Nearly three to four months. I relished the time spent with my loved ones and my dogs. Then I realised that despite learning to dance, I had always had this. Then I heard that Dhanashree offered online courses. Therefore, I spent two months taking online classes’, Chahal said in an interview posted on the “Humans of Bombay” YouTube channel.

Then, one day, I questioned her, “Why are you so happy in life?” I am the one like that only, she retorted. I look for happiness in the little things in life. I informed my family after sensing the correct energy. I told her, “I want to marry you; I don’t want to date you.” I don’t want to waste time on dating. I was thirty at the time. She replied, no, I want to meet you first. Prior to then, we had never met. She introduced herself to me in Mumbai and then added, “Okay, now, sure, fine.

Chahal is one of the top wicket-takers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, where he is presently competing.
