Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal may not have been a part of the Indian squad that won the ICC Champions Trophy on Sunday, but the spinner was at the Dubai International Stadium, cheering for his mates. But as the camera panned to him in the stands, many fans noted he wasn’t alone. Sitting next to him was a young woman in a white top. As pictures of the ‘mystery girl’ with Chahal went viral, it emerged that the woman was RJ Mahavash, radio jockey-turned-actor, who had been spotted with him at get-togethers and outings earlier as well.

Actor Vivek Oberoi was among the first to share a video with Chahal. Sitting a row ahead of Chahal and Mahvash, the actor shared a video of himself interacting with them in the stadium. “Spin master @yuzi_chahal23 in our box, spinning the winning energy for team India, cheering with us! Thank you bro for being an inspiration to so many young cricketers,” he captioned the video. As the match ended and Team India triumphed over New Zealand to win their third Champions Trophy, Mahvash took to her Instagram to share pictures and videos with Chahal.
The pictures showed the two celebrating as fireworks went off in the sky above the stadium. “Kaha tha na jita ke aungi (Told you I would make them win) I am good luck for team India,” the caption read.

RJ Mahvash on relationship rumours
Mahvash and Chahal were first linked in December after she posted a picture of them with other friends at a Christmas bash. Days later, the actor addressed the rumours in a note on Instagram Stories. It read, “Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It’s literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I’m sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?”
