New Delhi: Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal recently posted a cryptic message on his Instagram story, which has fueled growing speculation about the status of his marriage to Dhanashree Verma. The message, which read, “Hard work spotlights the character of people. You know your journey. You know your pain. You know what all you have done to reach here. The world knows. You stand tall. You have worked with all your sweat to make your father and your mother proud. Keep standing tall like a proud son always,” seemed deeply emotional, leaving many to interpret it as a reflection on personal struggles.
This post, combined with some recent social media changes, has led fans to believe that Chahal and Dhanashree may be heading towards separation after nearly five years of marriage. Both have unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Chahal has reportedly removed all photos of Dhanashree from his profile, further intensifying the speculation surrounding their relationship. These subtle actions have sparked curiosity and concern among followers, who are now wondering if the couple is indeed facing difficulties in their marriage.
According to sources, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma have been living apart for several months, though the reasons for their reported separation remain unclear. This is not the first time their relationship has attracted public attention. In 2023, Dhanashree removed “Chahal” from her Instagram handle, sparking similar rumors. At that time, Chahal dismissed the speculation, urging fans not to spread unverified information. Recently, however, both have indicated their intention to part ways, unfollowing each other on social media platforms and sharing cryptic posts. Dhanashree also posted messages supporting Chahal, especially regarding his selection for the national team, adding further complexity to the situation.
The couple tied the knot in December 2020 in an intimate ceremony in Gurgaon. Their love story began during the pandemic when Chahal, impressed by Dhanashree’s dance videos, reached out to her for lessons. The two quickly became one of cricket’s most adored couples, often sharing moments from their relationship online. Despite Chahal removing most of their shared photos, Dhanashree still retains pictures of them together on her account. Neither has issued an official statement regarding the rumors, leaving fans confused and eagerly waiting for clarity on their relationship’s future.
New Delhi: On a challenging pitch, Australia comfortably chased down the target with Beau Webster (39*) and Travis Head (34*) guiding the team over the line. India’s hopes were dented by the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, whose unavailability was felt as the Indian attack struggled to break through on Day 3. This loss also saw India bow out of the World Test Championship final race.
Australia’s victory marked the first time in a decade that they had claimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with their last win over India coming in the 2014-15 series. Since then, India had dominated the contest, winning four consecutive series, including two tours to Australia.
India’s early series advantage in Perth was quickly matched by Australia’s response in Adelaide, where they claimed the pink-ball Test. The series was then drawn in Brisbane before Australia dominated the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne and sealed the win with a strong performance in Sydney’s Pink Test.
Resuming Day 3 at 141/6, India collapsed swiftly, losing their final four wickets for just 16 runs to be bowled out for 157 in their second innings. Pat Cummins and Scott Boland led the charge, with Boland finishing with a six-wicket haul, helping Australia seal the win. This defeat ends India’s streak of four consecutive series wins against Australia, which included two triumphs on Australian soil.
New Delhi: Australia clinched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a commanding six-wicket victory over India, securing a 3-1 series win on Sunday. This triumph has virtually guaranteed Australia’s spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. With the defending champions currently sitting second in the standings, their win percentage is secure, and even a 2-0 loss to Sri Lanka in their upcoming series will not drop them below third place, ensuring their passage to the final.
Webster’s Impressive Debut
Test debutant Beau Webster played a crucial role in completing the chase, hitting a boundary off Washington Sundar to finish unbeaten on 39. His calm and composed performance on debut helped Australia cross the finish line, marking an impressive first appearance.
Steve Smith’s 9999 Test Runs
Meanwhile, individual accolades for Steve Smith were temporarily delayed. His dismissal for just four earlier in the day left him stranded on 9999 Test runs. A short delivery from Prasidh Krishna proved to be his undoing, leaving Australia in a vulnerable position at 58/3. However, Usman Khawaja (41), Head, and Webster steadied the ship and guided Australia to victory.
Australia Dismiss India for 157
Earlier in the day, Australia wrapped up India’s second innings, dismissing them for just 157. Scott Boland played a pivotal role, claiming a six-wicket haul, including the important wicket of Jasprit Bumrah, who continued to bat despite struggling with a back injury.
Bumrah’s Injury Woes
Bumrah’s participation in the match was limited due to ongoing back spasms. The Indian fast bowler bowled just one over after lunch on Day 2, with his speeds dropping to the 125kph range. He was later sent off for scans, and Prasidh Krishna, in his post-day press conference, confirmed that Bumrah had been dealing with back issues. Despite his injury, Bumrah’s contributions were significant, having bowled 152.1 overs across the series and taking 32 wickets at an average of 13.06, surpassing Bishan Bedi’s record for the most wickets taken by an Indian bowler on a tour of Australia
Without Bumrah, India’s hopes faded away as Australia wrapped up the win within three days
