Yuzvendra Chahal is currently supporting his wife, Dhanashree Verma, as she is set to compete in the dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Verma is one of the last five contestants left, with the finals telecasted on 2nd March, 2023. 

Before the finals, there was a party organized for all contestants and their families. Among the guests was Indian wrestler Sangeeta Phogat, who also contested in the show. She has been eliminated earlier, finishing 8th in the competition.

From the party, a video went viral which saw the wrestler and Chahal involved. Phogat had picked up the Indian leg-spinner, placed him on her shoulders and spun. Onlookers laughed their hearts out while Chahal was screaming for her to stop. 

Aakash Chopra shocked by Yuzvendra Chahal not being given a contract 

Recently, the BCCI announced the central contract lists for the year 2023/24. While many focused on Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer not getting a contract, many overlooked that Yuzvendra Chahal didn’t get a contract.

Formerly having a Grade C contract, the leg-spinner was dropped from the current contract list. In the past year, he had not featured for India much and was dropped from the T20I team for Ravi Bishnoi. This had shocked Aakash Chopra, who spoke about it on his YouTube channel. 

I am a bit surprised that Yuzi Chahal's name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shikhar Dhawan - their names not being there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal's name is not there - what does that signify? It seems to indicate that they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction. This is a validation of the theory. He might have had a ray of hope, but it wasn't to be. His name is not there.

In 2023, Chahal had featured in only 11 matches. There were two ODIs at the start of the year and 9 ODIs, with his last game in Indian colors being in August 2023. Now he regularly plays for his state team, Haryana, and also had a stint with English side Kent.
