In his latest podcast, Yuzvendra Chahal said, "Kaafi time se chal raha tha (It was going on for a long time). We decided that we don't want to show the people jab tak nahi ho jaata kyunki kya pata naa bhi hota (until it happens, because on the other hand, maybe we would not have separated). Humara yeh tha ki jab tak hum ek point pe jaa ke pahunchenge nahi (We decided that unless we decide), we are not going to say anything. We were like a normal couple on social media."

Further, in the interview, the Indian cricketer opened up about what went wrong in his relationship. Calling marriage a 'compromise,' Yuzvendra highlighted that not being able to give time worsened the scenario.

Elaborating on it a bit more, Chahal explained that he was busy with his cricket matches, and Dhanashree was also equipped with her work. 'Chal hi raha tha do ek saal se (It was going for about 1-2 years)," added the 35-year-old.

Talking more about his divorce, he threw light upon how it became difficult for him to give time because of the fuss that surrounded him during those days. "Jab woh roz hona start ho jaata hai na, fir banda kehta hai chhoro (When it starts happening every day, then one says to leave it)," concluded the cricketer.
