Divorce Hearing Scheduled for March 20
Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and actor-choreographer Dhanashree Verma’s divorce hearing is set for March 20. The Bombay High Court ordered a Family Court to hear their case on this day, taking into account Yuzi’s participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting March 22.

Yuzi is the most expensive spinner in the IPL 2025, having received INR 18 Crore to join the Punjab Kings team.
Differences Lead to Separation
Due to their differences, Yuzi and Dhanashree have been living apart for over 2.5 years. Both have requested the court to grant them a divorce without going through the six-month cooling-off period to reconcile their marriage.
Request for Early Divorce Denied
Their request for an early divorce was denied by the family court on February 20. The reason was that Yuzvendra Chahal had only partially paid the alimony agreed upon as a settlement between both parties.

It is reported that Yuzi agreed to pay INR 4.75 Crore as alimony to Dhanashree, but he had only paid INR 2.37 Crore in February during their court hearing. The court noted that the cricketer had only partially fulfilled the terms of the settlement at that time.
Rumours of INR 60 Crore Alimony
Rumours circulated that Yuzvendra Chahal would pay INR 60 Crores to Dhanashree as alimony. However, Dhanashree issued a statement denying these rumours.
