Truth About Yuzvendra Chahal's Viral T-Shirt Message to Dhanashree Verma

The video that went viral on social media is fake. Yuzvendra Chahal did not share an Instagram story of a picture wearing a white T-shirt with 'It's Not Your Time to Rise Yet, Soon You Will Fall' written on it. In reality, the picture of Chahal in a white T-shirt that has been used in the viral video is an old picture. It was a picture posted on social media by Chahal himself and no message was written on the T-shirt. Also, the Instagram story shared by Dhanashree Verma might also be a reference to the fact that she is rumoured to join the reality show 'Rise & Fall', hosted by Ashneer Grover. The show is expected to be released soon on Amazon MX Player.

Yuzvendra Chahal posted the original picture on March 16, 2019.  Chahal met Dhanashree a year later and they were yet to be married. It was a casual social media post from Chahal where he shared his picture wearing a white T-shirt. Suryakumar Yadav's Wife Devisha Shetty Shows Support for Dhanashree Verma After Her Interview on Divorce with Yuzvendra Chahal, Writes 'So Much Respect...'.
