Chennai Super Kings: Under the glare of stadium lights, they appear invincible — soaking in the applause, delivering match-winning performances, winning matches, and lifting trophies. But when the cheers fade, and the cameras turn away, some of India’s cricket stars have found themselves fighting far more personal battles — ones that test the heart more than on-field skills.
Young leg-spinner Rahul Chahar recently offered a deeply personal account of his divorce from Ishani Johar. The couple, who got engaged in 2019 and married in March 2022 in Goa after being together since their early twenties, had shared years of companionship before deciding to part ways.
After nearly 15 months of courtroom proceedings, Chahar chose transparency over silence. There were no dramatic allegations — only an honest admission of how emotionally draining the process had been. Importantly, he emphasised that he harbours no ill feelings.
