Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed a lot of limelight earlier this year after his divorce from former wife Dhanashree Verma was finalised in March.
While the couple were still together, they attracted a lot of media attention with their interesting videos, which went viral on social media. As a result, when they split up, it was no surprise that the divorce was among the most talked-about subjects on the internet.
Now, there is a fresh twist in the Verma-Chahal saga, as the Indian spinner's ex-wife has made an explosive claim that the Punjab Kings star cheated on his former partner.
