Chennai Super Kings player Deepak Chahar might’ve had an unsuccessful run on the field, but going by the way that he proposed to his long-time girlfriend Jaya Bhardwaj he’s anything but.
After the team’s loss to Punjab Kings, the 29-year-old retreated to the player’s den where his partner, Jaya Bhardwaj, was already waiting for him. In a video that has now gone viral, the cricketer went down on one knee in front of fans and teammates to pop the question. Did someone say romance is dead?

The epic proposal has us shook
Dressed in a black cut-out jumper and shades, Jaya seemed shell-shocked at the proposal. She is seen laughing while accepting his offer. Deepak, too, looks elated with the outcome. The video is definitely cute but it also called us single in 27,894 languages.

If Bollywood movies can be held responsible for heightening our expectations, then such proposal videos cannot be eliminated from the contest either. We’re happy for them but we’re also wiping our tears TBH.
The proposal had a high-profile audience
While fans were quick to go ‘aww’ at the clip, we spotted M.S. Dhoni’s wife and daughter, Sakshi and Ziva, in the video as well. The former even congratulated the couple and shared the proposal on her Instagram page with the caption, “Special moment”.
Some netizens, on the other hand, had mixed reactions about the gesture. One user by the handle @m.behura88 commented on Viral Bhayani’s post saying, “inka dhyan game pe nahi, name pe hai”; while another by the handle @rishika_0098 added, “Earlier cricket was a decent sports. Now it has become bollywood nautanki. These things should stop during matches.”
