Divorced 11 Cricket Team after Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Rumour

Full Divorce XI Cricket Team List- Squad

Starting the innings, Sanath from Sri Lanka is the opener. Explosive from ball one, but much like his personal innings, his partnerships didn't last as his blistering 150s. At the other end, Shikhar from India comes in. Gabbar with his signature swagger, but not even his mustache could shield him from life’s bouncers. Wicket’s down, and here comes Michael Clarke from Australia. He was a fantastic captain on the field, but off it, his partnerships fell short -unlike his marathon innings. 

Shoaib Malik comes in as an all-rounder. He has always kept himself in the game on and off the field whether it is batting, bowling, or hitting the headlines. Next is Kevin from England. KP shows versatility in switching partnerships like a pro! Oh, Hardik Pandya, cool as ever. Though his personal innings needed a DRS he juggled through controversies, cricket, and commitments. Dinesh Kartik walks in now. DK’s first innings of his life didn't quite go as planned. He is ready for a fresh start. 

Here comes the legendary Imran Khan from Pakistan, captain of this side. Master of swing and politics, Imran’s off-field headlines have rivalled his reverse swing deliveries. Shane Warne is here. The king of spin on the field and probably in life too. Mohammad Shami takes the ball next. In his personal life, a few no-balls turned the game around unexpectedly. And finally, Brett Lee charges in! The speedster couldn't outrun the Cupid bouncers in his personal innings.

Main Players of Divorced XI Cricket Team

Meet the MVPs of the team. These players have shown that while partnerships may break, their passion for the game remains unshaken. Hardik Pandya - the vice-captain of coolness, knows how to hit sixes both on and off the field, but when it came to life’s partnerships, the DRS didn’t go his way. Gabbar of the dressing room, Shikhar Dhawan’s fearless swagger could intimidate bowlers, but it turns out even the fiercest opener can get caught behind the game of love. The yorker specialist with life’s full tosses Mohammad Shami’s pinpoint accuracy with the ball doesn’t quite extend to navigating the no-balls of personal life. Even the best bowlers have off days. Dinesh Kartik has the art of finishing under pressure. His first innings of life had retired hurt before he scripted his comeback. Captain Imran leads the team with his charisma, but these four bring the flair, drama and undeniable entertainment to make the Divorced XI Cricket Team truly unforgettable. 

Hardik Pandya 

The all-rounder is spinning the headlines to keep cricket interesting and gossip mills running. His flashy lifestyle, bold statements, and entry into the legendary Divorced XI Cricket Team is a headline-taking move. 

With his deliveries in the Cricket World Cup 2024, Hardik sent two legends back to the pavilion that could make Wasim Akram proud. He is not just the guy with funky tattoos and Gucci belts but the guy to look at when the heat is on. His personal life kept the tabloids busy as much as his cricketing skills won hearts.

When Mumbai Indians announced him as their captain, the reactions were, mixed. It was the IPL bombshell move to replace Rohit Sharma. The fans and their boos felt like Hardik is batting with a broken helmet on a bouncy pitch. 

Shikhar Dhawan

The man with a bold batting style as his moustache-one and only Shikhar Dhawan. In 2021 the headlines were more about his personal life. His innings were a bang but the Gabbar of cricket parted ways with his wife, Ayesha Mukherjee, ending their eight-year-long marriage. This was a tricky bouncer for him. But did it rattle Dhawan’s cricket? Not quite. Post-2021 he showed why he is a class act when everyone expected his separation will affect his performance. In just 14 matches, he scored 460 runs with an average of 41.44 in the 2022 season. He played 11 matches and scored 373 runs with an average of 41.44, in the 2023 season. 

SD is always suited for shorter formats making his test appearance not good. The left-hander was captain of the 2021 Sri Lanka tour leading the Indian team and stood top scorer. He scored 128 runs over three matches with an average of 64.00. Critics said divorce could impact his focus, but SD replied with a cover drive.

Mohammad Shami

The man who made the cricket ball talk faced the toughest overs of his life in 2018 when his marriage with Hasin Jahan ended. Allegations and legal battles were controversial. But Shami, like his in-swinger, didn't lose his line and length. Post-2018, Shami’s performances were, as expected, bad but remarkable. In the 2019 World Cup, being India’s trump card, he picked 14 wickets in just four matches. Delivering under personal life pressure, he took a hat trick against Afghanistan. 

In IPL Shami was a death-bowling specialist. For Punjab Kings, he took 20 wickets in 14 matches which was among the top wicket-takers. The 2021 season was the toughest T20 league and we saw him taking 19 wickets throughout. Shami was also in the 2023 World Cup semi-final with New Zealand making a 7-wicket haul and becoming the first Indian bowler to achieve this. Off the field, Shami was grounded by using cricket as his escape and motivation. He was not fazed by personal setbacks, but these seemed to fuel his hunger to perform better. 

Dinesh Kartik

The seasoned wicketkeeper-batsman has had a career full of ups and downs. Rewind to 2012, DK made his entry into the Divorced XI Cricket Team. Due to personal issues, he divorced his first wife, Nikita Vanjara. The setback affected his form, and he was out of the Indian T20 squad from 2011 to 2017. But Kartik, known for his resilience, made a remarkable comeback in the 2022 IPL season. He scored 330 runs in 16 IPL matches, with an average of 55 and a strike rate of 183.33. The performance grabbed the selector’s attention and he earned a spot in the Indian national team. Throughout his career, he played 257 IPL matches, scoring 4,842 runs with an average of 26.32. With a highest score of 97 not out, he has 22 half-centuries to his name. He continued to contribute to cricket, proving that comebacks are stronger than setbacks.

Will Virender Sehwag join the Divorced XI Cricket Team?

Virender Sehwag is known for smashing bowlers at all parts of the ground and is dealing with a different kind of challenge now. He is in the headlines for reasons beyond his iconic boundaries. Fans were quick to notice the social media silence between Sehwag and his wife, Aarti, sparking rumours of separation. The two have been living apart for several months now. The man once said, “baap-baap hota hai” and this holds true in his personal life, as he focuses on his sons during these rumours. He is now tackling life’s googlies one ball at a time, and we can only hope the man will also ace this tough phase like he fearlessly faced Shoaib Akhtar.
