RJ Mahvash, known for her lively presence at cricket stadiums, found herself at the receiving end of heartbreak on Thursday night. The popular radio jockey was spotted at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, cheering passionately for Punjab Kings during the IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Unfortunately, her hopes were dashed as Punjab Kings suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a dominant RCB side.
Dressed in a vibrant red strapless top, RJ Mahvash began the match on a high note, cheering animatedly for Punjab Kings, even though Yuzvendra Chahal—her rumoured boyfriend—was not in the playing XI due to a finger injury. As the game progressed and Punjab Kings crumbled under pressure, Mahvash’s enthusiasm visibly waned, leaving her looking solemn by the match’s end. Despite Chahal missing the game, fans couldn’t help but notice Mahvash’s presence, reigniting discussions about her rumored relationship with the leg-spinner.
Punjab Kings were bundled out for a paltry 101 runs in just 14.1 overs, a performance that left fans and supporters—including Mahvash—deeply disappointed. However, Punjab Kings still have a shot at redemption in the second qualifier, where they will face the winner of the eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans.
Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash: Dating Rumors and Past Controversies
Rumors of a romance between RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal have been circulating since before Chahal’s separation from choreographer Dhanashree Verma, which was finalized in March. The buzz around their relationship intensified when Mahvash was spotted cheering for Chahal during earlier IPL matches. Although both have repeatedly maintained that they are “just friends,” their frequent public appearances together have kept fans guessing.
Adding fuel to the fire, Mahvash was seen enjoying a Champions Trophy match with Chahal, and the duo has been photographed together at various outings since then. Despite the rumors, neither Chahal nor Mahvash has officially addressed the speculations, leaving fans to piece together clues from social media and stadium sightings.
