RJ Mahvash enters the cricket field, CLT10 team confirms captain
Months after being seen as a spectator at major cricketing events like the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and the Indian Premier League (IPL), RJ Mahvash has officially stepped into the cricketing spotlight—but this time in a completely new role. The popular social media influencer and radio personality, who has previously made headlines for her rumored link with Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, has now become a team owner in the inaugural edition of the CLT10 (Cricket League T10). Set to unfold over three action-packed days, the CLT10 is a fast-paced tennis ball cricket tournament aimed at combining entertainment with grassroots cricketing talent.
Mahvash’s entry into team ownership marks a bold move, signaling her growing influence in the world of sports and entertainment. Her decision to invest in the league has already created buzz among fans and followers, particularly given her increasing involvement in cricket circles over the past year. With her trademark flair and media reach, Mahvash is expected to bring a unique energy to the CLT10, both on and off the field. Her transition from an enthusiastic onlooker to an active stakeholder in the sport hints at a deeper passion for cricket and perhaps, a long-term commitment to shaping its pop-culture crossover appeal.
The player auction for the inaugural CLT10 tournament was recently held in New Delhi, where RJ Mahvash made her presence felt by actively participating in the bidding process. Marking her official entry into cricket team ownership, Mahvash now owns the franchise named Supreme Strikers. The team has already gained attention, not just for its high-profile owner but also for appointing former Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh as its captain. With Marsh’s international experience and Mahvash’s media influence, the Supreme Strikers are shaping up to be one of the most talked-about teams in the tournament.
Yuzvendra Chahal - RJ Mahvash dating each other?
Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his rumored relationship with RJ Mahvash during a candid chat on Raj Shamani's podcast. The India spinner, who finalized his divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma earlier this year ahead of IPL 2025, dismissed the dating rumors, calling them exaggerated. Referring to viral photos from a Christmas dinner with Mahvash, Chahal clarified that the images were taken out of context and blown out of proportion by social media. He emphasized that there was no romantic involvement and urged people not to read too much into casual moments. Chahal's remarks put to rest the buzz that had followed him since the dinner gathering went public.
"No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think," stated Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
"For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker... people said really nasty things. I felt terrible... We could not step out together," he added.
