‘I did not cheat…,’ Yuzvendra Chahal gave a statement for the first time on divorce from Dhanashree Verma; told that he had thought of suicide

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal Statement on Divorce with Ex-Wife Dhanshree Verma: When Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma got divorced, their fans were shocked. However, no reason was revealed about the reason for their divorce. Now UG Chahal has spoken openly about this divorce. He told that things were going bad between us husband and wife for a long time. But we were behaving in front of people as if everything was going well.

All these revelations were made by the Indian spinner during Raj Shamani‘s podcast. According to Chahal, he had to face a lot of mental trouble before the divorce. Speaking in this context, Chahal said,

“This was going on for a long time. We had decided that we would not tell anyone anything until we reached a final decision. If things did not work out, maybe things could have been different. We wanted to look like a normal couple on social media until a decision was made. I was thinking that everything was fine.”

Sometimes the nature of two people does not match – Yuzvendra Chahal

During this, the surprising thing came to light that the rift in Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree’s relationship was going on for 1-2 years. Even though the news of sourness between the two was constantly in the media. But this couple never made any statement about the relationship.

UG said about his relationship with Dhanashree,

“Relationship is like a compromise. If one is angry, then the other has to listen. Sometimes the nature of two people does not match each other. I was playing for India at that time and she was also busy with her work. All this was going on for 1-2 years.”

The leg spinner further said that I was very busy at that time. I knew that I have to give time here as well as there. I was not even able to think properly about my relationship. Then it happens that things start getting worse every day and you think leave it. Two ambitious people can live together, but everyone has their own life, their own goals. As a partner you have to support each other. If you are working hard for something for 18-20 years, then you cannot leave it just for a relationship.

I am not a cheater – Chahal

During the interview, he told that during this phase many people called him a cheater. But I am not a cheater. You will not find a more loyal person than me. I think from my heart for my close ones. I have never asked for anything, I have only given. When people do not know the reality, they just write anything. I have two sisters, I know how to respect women. Just because you are seen with someone, people associate you with someone and write anything for views. The real problem is when you react once. Then more people tease you because they think you will respond.

Thoughts of suicide used to come to my mind – Yuzvendra Chahal

According to Chahal, he had also taken a break from cricket due to the tension going on in his married life, because even while playing, 100 things used to go on in his mind. Due to this tension, he could sleep only for two-three hours and used to talk to friends the rest of the time. He also said that during this time, thoughts related to suicide also used to come to his mind.

Karun Nair’s long wait is over, hit a Test half-century after 3146 days; pulled India out of trouble

Nair

Karun Nair Hits Test Fifty After 3146 Days: The wait is finally over, because after almost 9 years, Karun Nair has once again crossed the 50-run mark in Test cricket. This is only the second time in the Test format that he has scored more than fifty runs. Fans have had to wait for 3146 days to see the second half-century from his bat. With this innings, Nair has proved that the team management has not taken a wrong decision by giving him a chance in the fifth Test.

33-year-old he also got a chance in the first three matches, but he was not able to cross the 50-run mark. He was able to score only 140 runs in 6 innings, due to which he was also being criticized a lot. Due to poor form, Nair also had to sit on the bench in the fourth Test.

Karun Nair hit a fifty after 9 years

But in the fifth Test, he again got a chance, which he seems to be taking advantage of. In the green top and difficult conditions, he showed patience and hit a brilliant half-century and made a strong comeback in his second innings.

When Nair came to bat at the crease, India had lost three wickets at a score of 83. After this, 5 batsmen had returned to the pavilion at a score of 123. Dhruv Jurel also got out after scoring 19 runs. In such a situation, all the responsibility came on the shoulders of right-handed batsman Nair. He formed a partnership with Washington Sundar and took the team’s score beyond 200.

This is not the first time that a player has hit a fifty in a Test after a long wait of 9 years. Even before this, many players have scored half-centuries in Tests after a gap of more than a decade.

Longest gap between two 50+ scores in Test cricket:

12 years 43 days – Parthiv Patel (2004 to 2016)

11 years 167 days – Fawad Alam (2009 to 2020)

9 years 289 days – Robin Peterson (2003 to 2013)

8 years 227 days – Karun Nair (2016 to 2025)

8 years 109 days – Elton Chigumbura (2005 to 2013)

Pakistan gets a shock due to ICC’s new rules, will not get a chance in 2028 Olympics!

Pakistan

Pakistan might fail to qualify for 2028 LA Olympics: Cricket is making a comeback in the Olympics after 128 years. This time cricket will be seen in full swing in LA 2028, in which 6 teams each from men’s and women’s categories will participate. However, Pakistan team’s dream of playing in this tournament may be shattered. Along with Pakistan, New Zealand team may also not be able to qualify for this event. According to reports, both these teams failed to make it under the qualification rules set by ICC.

Pakistan gets a shock due to ICC’s rule

According to a report by The Guardian, Pakistan and New Zealand may be out of the Men’s T20 cricket tournament to be held in the 2028 Olympics. This decision has come after the qualification system was decided in the ICC’s annual meeting held in Singapore in July. The report states that the ICC has decided to implement regional qualification. Under this, the top ranked teams from Asia, Oceania, Europe and Africa will get a direct place in the Olympics. At the same time, America will get entry due to being the host nation.

These teams can be seen playing in the Olympics

According to the current T20 rankings, the teams of India (Asia), Australia (Oceania), Great Britain (Europe), South Africa (Africa), America (as host) will be seen playing in the tournament. Due to America qualifying, the participation of Caribbean teams is bound to be affected.

Despite being ranked fourth in the latest T20I rankings of ICC, New Zealand will not be able to qualify due to being from the Oceania region. Australia’s team will participate in the event due to being in second place. Similarly, the teams of Pakistan (eighth place) and Sri Lanka (seventh place) will also not be able to make it to the Olympics 2028 due to India being at the top from Asia.

According to the report, Pakistan and New Zealand teams are not happy with this qualification rule of ICC. However, this rule has not been officially approved yet. But the hope of ICC withdrawing this rule is almost nil. At the same time, the qualification of women’s teams will be decided on the basis of performance in next year’s T20 World Cup.

ENG vs IND 5th Test Dream 11 Tips: The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has reached its final stage and the fifth and final Test of the series is going to start from Thursday (31 July). England has maintained a 2-1 lead in this series and has a golden opportunity to win the series by winning or drawing the last match. On the other hand, the only way for Team India is to win the match, because only then the series will end in a draw.

ENG vs IND: The Indian batsmen had a great performance in Manchester, due to which the England team was away from victory and the match was drawn. In such a situation, the Test to be held at the Oval is very important for both the teams.

ENG vs IND: India has not unveiled its playing 11 for the fifth Test but according to the information, Team India can make more than one change. Akashdeep’s return is considered certain, and Arshdeep Singh may also get a chance to debut.

Pitch Report

The first glimpse of the Kennington Oval pitch ahead of the fifth Test suggests early movement for the pacers, which could raise concerns for India’s batting order.

In such a situation, the role of toss is going to be very important.

WCL 2025

India-Pakistan WCL 2025 semifinal called off: The semi-final match of World Championship of Legends 2025 has been cancelled. This match was to be played between India and Pakistan. After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, India is refusing to play against its arch-rival Pakistan. Well, India’s journey in WCL ends here. But Pakistan has entered the final. This was confirmed by WCL by posting a post on its social media account.

WCL 2025: It is worth noting that earlier in this tournament, Indian players have refused to play against Pakistan, which includes veteran players like Shikhar Dhawan, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina. India had also adopted a similar stance in the group match of the tournament.

WCL 2025: After Operation Sindoor, many top former cricketers of India refused to play against Pakistan in the league match of the tournament. India were scheduled to play Pakistan in the semi-finals of the tournament at Edgbaston Cricket Ground on Thursday. WCL said in its post on X,

WCL 2025: “At WCL we have always believed in the power of sport to inspire and bring about positive change in the world. However, public sentiment must always be respected. After all, everything we do is for our audience. We respect the decision of India Champions to withdraw from the semi-finals, and equally respect the preparation of Pakistan Champions to compete. Taking all factors into consideration, the match between India Champions and Pakistan Champions has been canceled. As a result, Pakistan Champions will advance to the final.”

Let us tell you that earlier the league’s sponsor EaseMyTrip had already clarified its position on the India-Pak match. The co-founder of this travel tech company, Nishant Pitti, had written on his ‘x’ handle, “We applaud Team India (India Champions) for their stellar performance at the World Championship of Legends.

Parthiv Patel: “Nobody can stop the coach from seeing the pitch”, former Indian wicketkeeper lashed out at the Oval curator

Parthiv Patel

Parthiv Patel defends Gautam Gambhir on pitch dispute: Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel has supported head coach Gautam Gambhir on the argument with the Oval curator. He says that the coach had every right to express his displeasure. Before the fifth Test match, when the Indian team was practicing at The Oval, the head of the ground staff Lee Fortis had asked coach Gambhir to stay two and a half meters away from the pitch. After this, there was a heated argument between Gambhir and Fortis.

Parthiv Patel: India has to play the last Test match against England at The Oval. India was successful in drawing the fourth Test played in Manchester but it is still trailing 1-2 in this series. During a conversation with PTI Videos, Parthiv has described the fight between Gambhir and Fortis as unfortunate. He believes that as a curator you cannot stop anyone from inspecting the pitch. He said,

Parthiv Patel: “It is unfortunate that such an incident happened. But Gautam has the right to express his displeasure. As a curator, of course you cannot stop anyone from inspecting the pitch. This is the role of the head coach. What else are you expecting? No head coach will go and inspect the pitch. This is not possible at all. All this was being broadcast. This is the inappropriate behavior of England which is not good at all.”

Parthiv Patel: Gambhir was ordered to stay 2.5 meters away from the pitch

Parthiv Patel: It is worth noting that on Tuesday, coach Gambhir and head of the ground staff Fortis were seen arguing in the ground. Fortis had asked Gambhir to stay 2.5 meters away from the pitch. On this, Gambhir had pointed his finger and said,

“You cannot tell any of us what to do. You do not have the right to tell us. You are only a ground staff. Nothing more than this.”

Let us tell you that in the press conference before the match, Indian captain Shubman Gill also expressed his displeasure over this behavior of the Oval cutter. He said that before this no one had ever asked him to stay 2.5 meters away from the pitch.

3 big reasons why Ben Stokes’s exclusion from Oval Test is good news for Team India

Ben Stokes

3 Reasons Why Ben Stokes Ruled out Oval Test Good news for India: Whether England will win the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy or India will draw it, this will be decided by the fifth Test to be played at the Oval in London. Which will start from July 31. England announced its playing-11 for this Test today. A total of four changes have been seen in the team. The change that has surprised the fans the most is that of Ben Stokes.

The captain of England will not be able to play in the fifth Test. Actually, he is out of this match due to shoulder injury and Ollie Pope has been made the captain in his place. Even though Stokes’s exclusion from the team in this way is a big setback for England. But this is a big good news for Team India. Let us know the three big reasons behind this.

3 England’s middle order will become weak

    Ben Stokes is a brilliant all-rounder and he handles the team in difficult situations. Without him in the team, England’s middle order will look weak. Everyone saw how Stokes scored a century in the last match. In such a situation, now with him not being in the team, the Indian bowlers can quickly wrap up the middle order.

    2 Players who make an impact with ball and bat

      Stokes is at the top in terms of taking the most wickets in this series. He has taken 17 wickets in 4 matches. At the same time, he has scored more than 300 runs in batting. Looking at these figures, it is clear that Stokes is one of the biggest match winners of the team. Without an experienced all-rounder like him, the team will look weak in both bowling and batting departments. The Indian team can take advantage of this weak link of England.

      1 There will be a lack of enthusiasm in the team

        Ben Stokes is a great leader and he always inspires the players and fills them with enthusiasm. He believes in taking everyone along with seniors and young players like Joe Root. Ollie Pope has not developed this quality yet. In the absence of Stokes, the team’s morale will be much lower than in the previous matches.
