Yuzvendra Chahal divorce
The breakdown of a high-profile marriage often raises questions about compatibility, fate, and external influences. The recent divorce between Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma has sparked curiosity among fans and experts alike. While legal and social factors played their part, could astrology have predicted or even helped prevent their marital troubles?
In this blog post, we analyze the astrological compatibility between Yuzvendra and Dhanashree, explore planetary influences on their marriage, and discuss general astrological insights into maintaining a strong marital bond. We will also discuss some general remedies which can help to protect a relationship from 3rd parties as well are problems in compatibility.
The Yuzvendra Chahal divorce is a an opportunity for everyone to understand the astrology of relationship and personal ambition to determine how they can better guard against bad relationship choices.
The people involved
The 2 people in the middle of the matter are cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his now ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. Aside from them, we also have Yuzvendra’s colleague in the Indian Cricket team Shreyas Iyer. It has been alleged that the relationship between Yuzvendra and Dhanashree broke down after her alleged closeness with Shreyas Iyer. However, these reports are not supported by sufficient evidence. So, we will skip the moral and ethical considerations in this regard. Rather, we will focus on the astrological factors through an educational and academic perspective.
Let us consider the horoscopes of all 3 people and discuss the pros and cons, along with the relevant astrological factors involved.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal was born in Jind, Haryana, India on 23rd July, 1990 at approximately 6:45 AM. His birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.
If we consider this birth chart, we can make some general conclusions:
- Mars in it’s own sign of Aries gives a strong and fit body, along with an interest in sports.
- Venus in the sign of Gemini shows chances of cheating by women. Also, since Venus is in the 12th house, we can conclude that the cheating will have something to do with sex and pleasures of the flesh.
- Mandi and Gulika in Scorpio indicate chances of controversies or scandals around sex or affairs. Typically, people having this condition are victims rather than guilty in such scandals.
- Mercury in Cancer also indicates infidelity by the spouse, leading to strife at home.
If we consider the key points given above, we can fairly conclude that Yuzvendra Chahal’s horoscope shows chances of scandals and controversies around sex and infidelity. Let’s go one step further and evaluate the Ashtakvarga of his chart.
Ashtakvarga allows us to asses the different houses of a chart in a 8 point scale. When a house has a high score, we see a greater role played by the house in our lives and vice versa. Typically, a score of 24 and above is considered decent. Anything over 30 is excellent. On the contrary, scores lower than 20 are problematic.
If we see the scores given above, we can see that the score for Aries is very high at 37, showing physical strength and a career in sports. Secondly, an even higher score of 46 in Taurus shows profit for business, high income and excellent accumulation of wealth.
Further, if we consider the score of 19 in Gemini, we can further confirm the trend seen in the birth chart. It drives me to conclude that Yuzvendra Chahal has indeed suffered due to infidelity by his now ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. A score of 21 in Leo shows family problems and relationship breakups.
Dhanashree Verma
Dhanashree Verma was born in Dubai, UAE on September 27, 1996 at approximately 7:41 AM. Her birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.
If we consider the above birth chart of Dhanashree Verma, we can make some general conclusions.
- Mandi and Gulika in Libra show at least one divorce and marital problems in general. Since Libra is the natural sign related to marriage, this area of Dhanashree Verma’s life does not seem very fortunate.
- Mercury in Leo shows a vibrant love life and chances of not being with only one partner at a time.
- Venus and Mars in Cancer shows a dominating attitude in relationships with the male partner generally being on the weaker or submissive side. Typically, men in such relationships tend to suffer. This further shows a life of luxury with unearned money, typically provided by others such as spouse, parents etc.
- Saturn, Moon and Ketu in Pisces shows education related to hospitals but doing work which is not related to the education. Dhanashree Verma got a Medical degree but later became a YouTuber with focus on dance videos. This condition also shows abandonment of the life partner.
- Pluto in Scorpio shows a very modern outlook with some discomfort following general societal norms. This condition also shows new and innovative ways to earn money.
Let us delve deeper into Dhanashree Verma’s life using Ashtakvarga.
From the perspective of Ashtakvarga, we can see that the signs of Aquarius, Virgo and Scorpio have lower scores. Aquarius typically relates to spouse and kids. A lower score in this area shows problems with marriage and begetting kids.
A very high score of 36 in Taurus shows money earned without much hard work. Dhanashree Verma negotiated an alimony of 4.75 crore INR as part of her divorce with Yuzvendra Chahal. If we consider Dhanashree’s career till date, this is a substantial sum. Virgo typically deals with legal matters and divorce. A low score of 20 in Virgo confirms the divorce and associated legal troubles.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was born in Mumbai, India on 6 December, 1994 at approximately 7:45 PM. His birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.
Looking at the above birth chart of Shreyas Iyer, we can make some general conclusions.
- Venus is well placed in Libra with friend Rahu. This combination normally takes the native deep into sexual desires and clandestine affairs. Men having this combination can easily find sexual partners.
- Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury and Sun in Scorpio show a charming and intelligent personality, a man who can easily attract women with his wit, humor and intelligence. It is not difficult for such men to get the women they want.
- Mars in Leo shows a man driven by his ambition and desires, ready to strive hard to achieve them. Since Leo also deals with affairs and has a well placed Mars, it shows a man who will not stop pursuing his desires. The 4th aspect of Mars on Scorpio further indicates affairs, even with committed women. This is further supported by the 10th aspect of Saturn.
- Saturn, the planet of Karma rules Capricorn and Aquarius. Sitting in Aquarius, Saturn gives Shreyas Iyer a push towards fulfilment of his desires.
If we just consider these trends, it will not require much analysis to conclude that Shreyas Iyer may not resist an affair, even if it is with a married woman. Let us further delve into his life through his Ashtakvarga.
If we look at the above Ashtakvarga chart of Shreyas Iyer, we can see that Virgo and Gemini, the planets ruled by Gemini have the highest scores of 40 and 36 respectively. This indicates that Mercury, which is also the Ascendant Lord has a strong influence on the chart. Further, the scores of Leo (34), Scorpio (32) and Pisces (32) further indicate sex scandals and affairs.
The Pertinent Question
Finally, let us ask the pertinent question – “Did Shreyas Iyer and Dhanashree Verma have a sexual relationship?”. We will do a Prashna to answer this question. The Prashna was cast at Mumbai, India on March 22, 2025 at 3:19:10 AM.
The Lagna chart
In the Prashna chart, Moon is with Mandi and Gulika in the 12th house sign of Sagittarius. Mandi and Gulika here show corruption and immoral acts. Since this is the 12th house, we are naturally talking about sex. Further, we have Rahu, Sun, Neptune along with retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury in Pisces. This further confirms the presence of intense sexual desires with high chances for sexual encounters.
Mars in Gemini shows a man being cheated. In this case, it may be Yuzvendra Chahal. Accordingly, the Prashna makes me conclude that Shreyas Iyer and Dhanashree Verma indeed may have had a sexual relationship and cheated on her husband Yuzvendra Chahal.
The Shastiamsha chart
To further confirm the conclusion derived from the Prashna chart, let us consider the above Shashtiamsha chart for the Prashna. Retrograde Venus with Rahu and Jupiter in Virgo shows complete disregard for consequences and indicates sexual acts. Gulika with retrograde Mercury in Aries shows a forbidden relationship. Moon in the Ascendant is a simple “Yes” as an answer to the question asked.
Overall, considering the circumstances, Prashna result and charts of the 3 people involved, I can conclude that Shreyas Iyer did indeed have an affair with Dhanashree Verma, leading to her divorce with her now ex-husband Yuzvendra Chahal. Next, let us consider the timeline of the events, along with the prevailing astrological conditions.
Timeline of the relationship and divorce
December 22, 2020
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma got married in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram. During this time, Yuzvendra Chahal was under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Rahu. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) whereas Rahu is in Capricorn (7th house). As per media reports, Yuzvendra Chahal feel in love with Dhanashree Verma at first sight and they got married after a courtship period.
At the same time, Dhanashree Verma was under the Major period of Mercury and Minor period of Saturn. In her chart, Mercury is in Leo (11th house) while retrograde Saturn is in Pisces (6th house). We can conclude that this relationship was meant to last as it was not driven by genuine feelings.
June 2022
As per documents submitted in court during the divorce proceedings, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s lawyers claimed that they separated in June 2022. Assuming that this is true, we can consider the situation a few months before this date to further investigate the reasons for it.
From April 2022 to June 2023, Dhanashree Verma was under the Major period of Ketu and Minor period of Venus. In her chart, Venus is in Cancer with Mars whereas Ketu is in Pisces with Moon and retrograde Saturn. The Ketu – Venus combination which lasted for a little over a year can be clearly seen as the reason why the relationship broke up from Dhanashree’s side.
At the same time, Yuzvendra was under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Jupiter between May 2022 and Jan 2025. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) and Jupiter is in the Ascendant with Sun, Ketu, Moon and Mercury. Here, we can see the involvement of Ketu for both persons, signaling the separation which was unavoidable.
Around June 2022, there were also some media reports of the couple not living together.
Mid-2023
Videos of Dhanashree and cricketer Shreyas Iyer dancing together went viral, sparking speculation about their relationship. For both Yuzvendra and Dhanashree the Major and Minor periods outlined for 2022 continue here as well.
February 5, 2025
The couple filed for divorce at the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai, citing compatibility issues. At this time, Yuzvendra Chahal is under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Saturn. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) whereas retrograde Saturn is with Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius (6th house). The 6th house shows court matters and the 12th house shows expenses and losses.
From Oct 2024 to Oct 2025, Dhanashree Verma is under the Major period of Ketu and Minor period of Rahu. In her chart, Ketu is in while Rahu is in Pisces (6th house) with retrograde Saturn and Moon whereas Rahu is with Sun in Virgo (12th house). If we consider the Major and Minor period of both, it involved the 6th and 12th house. However, Rahu being strong in Virgo gave Dhanashree the advantage and she was able to get an alimony.
March 20, 2025
The divorce was finalized, with an alimony settlement of ₹4.75 crore. As of March 20, 2025, both are free to pursue their life goals. However, judging by the social media moves by both, it does not look like a peaceful divorce at all.
Conclusion – Yuzvendra Chahal divorce
The end result was unfortunate but it was unavoidable due to the strong influence of Ketu. On the positive we can learn valuable lessons from this case study and adopt a more discerning attitude in our relationship choices. We can also see the impact of astrological influences in our relationships and appreciate the value of good astrological advice.
