NEW DELHI: Star India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant expressed his frustration and anger towards those spreading fake news about his potential transfer to Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the upcoming season.
Pant criticized an X user for spreading false information on the social media platform. The user, without providing any credible sources, alleged that Pant's management had inquired about the possibility of him becoming the captain of the RCB team, but Pant ultimately declined the offer.
The user further insinuated that this decision was influenced by a political agenda, taking a swipe at senior batsman Virat Kohli in the process.
In response to these baseless claims, Pant expressed his strong disapproval and urged the X user to exercise more responsibility when sharing such information.
He emphasized the importance of not creating an atmosphere of mistrust and encouraged the individual to verify the facts with reliable sources before making such statements.
