Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially finalized their divorce, as confirmed by the Bandra family court in Mumbai on March 20, 2025. The couple, who married in December 2020, had been living separately since June 2022 before jointly filing for divorce in February 2025. The court proceedings were expedited to accommodate Chahal’s commitments to the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, where he is set to play for the Punjab Kings.
During the court appearance, Chahal’s attire drew significant attention. He was seen wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Be your own sugar daddy.” This bold fashion choice quickly went viral on social media, sparking various reactions and interpretations from fans and the public alike.

The divorce settlement requires Chahal to pay Rs 4.75 crore in alimony to Verma. The court had previously noted partial compliance with the agreed terms, as Chahal had initially paid Rs 2.37 crore. However, the Bombay High Court later confirmed that Chahal had fulfilled the consent terms, with the remaining amount to be paid after the divorce decree.
With the divorce finalized, Chahal is now focusing on the upcoming IPL season, which begins on March 22, 2025. He will represent the Punjab Kings, who acquired him for a record-breaking ₹18 crore during the IPL 2025 auction, making him the most expensive spinner in the league’s history.
The public’s fascination with Chahal’s T-shirt underscores the intense media scrutiny surrounding high-profile personal events, especially when they involve prominent sports figures. As Chahal transitions back to his professional commitments, fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how these personal developments influence his performance in the forthcoming IPL season.
