India's attacking legspinner Yuzvendra Chahal has quashed reports of his participation in a reality show, calling them "speculative and factually incorrect".

Rumours have been circulating about Chahal's supposed entry into the reality television show 'The 50'. Various reports claimed that Chahal will reunite with his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma, on the show, sparking widespread chatter among fans. The duo married in 2020 and parted ways four years later.

The 50 is India’s upcoming large-scale reality show, promising a bold new format that is set to disrupt the Indian reality TV playbook. It is set to premiere on February 1.

Putting all speculation to rest, Chahal shared a statement on his Instagram story clarifying that the reports currently circulating regarding his participation in a reality show are factually incorrect. He is not associated with the show mentioned in recent reports, and ‘there are no discussions or commitments of this nature.’

“There is no truth to the reports currently circulating about Yuzvendra Chahal’s participation in any reality show. These claims are speculative and incorrect. Yuzvendra is not associated with the show mentioned in recent reports, and there are no discussions or commitments of this nature. We request media platforms and social media users to refrain from spreading unverified information," Chahal said in a statement.
