India, Oct. 18 -- I ndian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has opened up about his struggle with alcohol addiction following his 2025 divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma. Speaking to former India cricketer Aakash Chopra on his Baith & Bol podcast, the 36-year-old, who is the IPL's all-time leading wicket-taker, shared, "I was young. There were parties. In 2011, I played my first IPL. AB de Villiers (Former South Africa Captain and RCB batter) once told me, 'Balance is key in life'. It sounds easy, but it is not." Admitting that his drinking worsened after his divorce, Chahal said, "Things got excessive after my divorce, and my mental state was not that great. I realised that if I continued down that path, I would ruin the very thing I love most - cricket. So, I put an end to it, and now I am in a much happier and better space." Revealing what prompted him to seek help, he added, "After my last year of county cricket, it crossed all limits, so I checked into a rehab centre and stayed there for 26 days. Now, I know how to handle it. That decision made a massive difference to my personal life. My maturity increased, and my emotions are balanced now. During the last IPL, my body felt like I was 30 years old again."HTC...
