Yuzvendra Chahal Height, Age, Net Worth, Stats, Education, Biography In 2025
Yuzvendra Chahal, a prominent figure among India's limited-overs players in recent years, has gained recognition not just for his fast and clever leg-spin bowling but also for the humorous and energetic content he generates on social media. Following his recent divorce from Dhanashree Verma, Chahal has received widespread media attention, yet he continues to handle it gracefully and focus on his cricketing journey as always.
Born on 23 July 1990, in Jind, Haryana, the 5-foot-6 bowler - nicknamed "Yuzi" by family and friends - has had a tremendous career across formats and particularly in T20. He has been capped only in limited-overs cricket by India, but he is one of the leading and most successful spinners in the IPL, being the all-time leading wicket-taker in league history under his IPL contract to represent India to win the 2024 T20 World Cup. Chahal's method of play relies on his right-arm leg-spin, with the googly as his most effective delivery—but he wears jersey number 3 for both India and in franchise cricket.
Chahal started his career at an early age, first as a List A player in 2009, before making his international debut in 2016 when he made both his ODI and T20I international debuts for India against Zimbabwe in Harare. While Chahal began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians in 2011, he rose to prominence in the IPL with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he played from 2014 to 2021.
He was then picked up by the Rajasthan Royals and was subsequently sold to the Punjab Kings for ₹18 crore in 2025, at that time the second-highest price ever paid for an individual player. Chahal has established himself as a strong personal brand and has earned over ₹62 crore in total during the IPL. He has invested in several ventures, including a lifestyle company named "CheQmate," a fitness application called "Grip," and a clothing brand called "YUZO."
His net worth is approximately ₹45 crore, which includes properties, other assets, and endorsement fee revenues.
Chahal statistically is among the best Indian white-ball spinners ever. As of 2025, he has well over 120 wickets in ODIs, 96 in T20Is, and in excess of 200 wickets in the IPL. In T20Is, his best figures came when he took 6 wickets for 25 runs against England in Bengaluru, which is one of the best T20I spells ever by an Indian. Chahal is also a former national junior chess champion who represented India at the U-12 World Cup, making him one of the few athletes to excel at two different sports.
Overall, due to his continued progression, professional discipline, and his ability to adapt, he is presently one of the most valuable spinners in modern cricket, all while still trying to obtain his first Test cap, which has been a long time coming.
