Recently held in Delhi was the auction for the first-ever CLT10 (Cricket League T10) league, a three-day tournament showcasing tennis ball cricket. Having invested in several teams, well-known television personalities such as Sunny Leone and Prince Narula were present at the auction. Also grabbing a team at the inaugural CLT10 league auction was influencer RJ Mahvash, linked to Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
Buying the Supreme Strikers team, which former Australian opener Shaun Marsh will lead, Mahvash got involved in cricket ownership. Mahvash was seen at the event dressed in a fashionable cream-coloured matching top and skirt set. She also used Instagram to share snippets from the auction, demonstrating her commitment to her new position as team owner.
After the inaugural CLT10 league, Mahvash posted on Instagram, “Team RJ Mahvash locked with Captain Shaun Marsh.” Chahal was asked about his relationship status with Mahvash or anybody else in a recent debate on Raj Shamani’s podcast. He said, “No, there’s nothing. People can think whatever they want to think.”
“For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker, and people said really nasty things. I felt terrible. We could not step out together,” he explained.
Recalling their Christmas dinner images, Yuzvendra noted that the scene was exaggerated. “We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date”, he said.
Chahal is still involved in local cricket and the IPL, even though he hasn’t played for India since August 2023. Chahal most recently competed for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, when he claimed four wickets against Kent in the first inning but fell short of getting any in the second. Against Middlesex, he had a comparable outcome after Kane Williamson’s permanent spot booked for the upcoming English summer in a multi-year deal.
