Yuzvendra Chahal clears air on marriage with Kannada actress Tanishka Kapoor

Mumbai: Yuzvendra Chahal has seen his stock grow potentially in international cricket after his eye-catching performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and even for Team India in the limited-overs format.

The Haryana leggie is highly active on social media and fans always want to know how Chahal keeps up with life. Recently, rumour mills surrounding his marriage with Kannada actress Tanishka Kapoor have been spreading all over, leaving his followers surprised. But the 27-year-old on Monday cleared the air on the matter and stated that he was not going to tie the knot anytime soon.

"Hello everyone. This is a message that I thought to convey from my side that there is nothing going on in my life. I am not getting married. Tanishka and I are just good friends. It's a request to all the media houses and my fans to stop spreading the news and making it viral. I hope you all respect my privacy and me, kindly stop the rumours. Please stop posting about my marriage which is completely baseless. Please verify before posting anything as such. Thank you. love to all," Chahal wrote on Twitter.

Despite RCB’s hot and cold form in the current campaign, it has been a decent start for Chahal. He recently became the highest wicket-taker for the franchise with 73 scalps, taking over from Vinay Kumar.

Virat Kohli’s RCB are placed on the sixth spot in the IPL table and now lock horns with the Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday.
