Yuzvendra Chahal Turns 34: Fun Reels Celebrating Cricketer's Birthday with Wife Dhanashree Verma

Yuzvendra Chahal, a talented leg-spinner, celebrates his 34th birthday today on July 23. Chahal first impressed all with 34 wickets in the U-19 Cooch Behar Trophy (2009). He joined Mumbai Indians in 2011 but limited opportunities led him to Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014. There, he thrived, becoming their top wicket-taker and earning his Indian debut in 2016. His 6 for 25 against England in 2017 cemented his place as a world-class T20 bowler.

Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma are pure goals. He first approached Dhanashree, who is also a trained dentist, during lockdown and asked her to teach him dance. They soon became good friends and fell in love. Just after two months, Chahal proposed to her and she said yes. The couple got married in an intimate ceremony on December 22, 2023. Now more than three years since their wedding, their love is as strong as ever.

While Dhanashree is a proficient dancer with a thriving career in the entertainment industry, Yuzvendra has also established himself as one of the top bowlers in the Indian cricket team. Together they have a significant following online and they often appear in reels together. As the cricketer celebrates his 34th birthday today, here are the top five reels that showcase the delightful relationship of Yuzvendra and Dhanashree.
