Actor Vivek Oberoi was among the first to share a video with Chahal. Sitting a row ahead of Chahal and Mahvash, the actor shared a video of himself interacting with them in the stadium. "Spin master @yuzi_chahal23 in our box, spinning the winning energy for team India, cheering with us! Thank you bro for being an inspiration to so many young cricketers," he captioned the video.

RJ Mahvash on relationship rumours

Mahvash and Chahal were first linked in December after she posted a picture of them with other friends at a Christmas bash. Days later, the actor addressed the rumours in a note on Instagram Stories. It read, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I'm sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?"
