Yuzvendra Chahal makes a huge revelation on Indian talismanic batter

Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who last played for Team India in August 2023, has made an interesting revelation on the Indian talismanic batter Virat Kohli, stating that he was spotted crying in the washroom after the semi-final exit in the ICC World Cup 2019 against New Zealand.

In an exclusive candid conversation with Raj Shamani, Chahal spoke candidly on various topics, right from his marriage to the Indian team dressing room environment, and many more. Interestingly, the leggie also talked about the comparison between Indian skippers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

“I love how Rohit bhaiya carries himself on the ground. He’s a very good captain. With Virat bhaiya, it’s the energy he brings, the same energy every day. It will only go up and never down. Same energy. Every day,” Chahal told Raj Shamani.

Furthermore, Raj asked if he had seen Kohli getting emotional in the dressing room. Notably, Kohli was most recently seen in tears after his IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, bagged the first-ever title in 18 years.

“2019 World Cup, I saw him crying in the bathroom. And then I was the last batter, when I was crossing him, he had tears in his eyes. In 2019, I saw everyone crying in the bathroom,” Chahal added.

Chahal also spoke candidly about his divorce from the dance choreographer and YouTuber Dhanashree Verma earlier this year. He made it clear in the interview that he never cheated anyone in his life.

“I think when my divorce happened, people alleged me of being a cheater. I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my closed ones, always. I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking [otherwise],” he said
