On a playful televised set recording for The Great Indian Kapil Show, Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant sparked social media signatures when he jokingly placed a ring on team-mate Yuzvendra Chahal’s finger. When host Archana Puran Singh quipped, “Are you now engaged to him?”, Pant responded with a smirk, “Iski toh ho chuki hai pehle” - hinting that Chahal was already engaged in the past. Chahal was quick to clarify, humorously adding: “Jaa bhi chuki hai”, referencing the finalisation of his divorce from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year.

This banter reignited speculation about Chahal’s relationship with RJ Mahvash, who has been frequently spotted with him - attending stadiums, dinners, and holidays together. The rumours gained traction during IPL 2025 as Mahvash supported Chahal’s Punjab Kings team, and subsequent paparazzi sightings in London extended the intrigue. 

While both Chahal and Mahvash have remained tight-lipped, Pant’s teasing moment - captured in Archana Puran Singh’s backstage vlog - has further fueled public curiosity. The friendly ribbing underscored the camaraderie between teammates and highlighted how cricket off-camera often entertains fans just as much as it does on.
