Former India and Australia cricketers call out ‘Fake Quotes’ circulating on social media around Sachin and Virat

With the advent of social media, fake news has spread like a pandemic over the years. A lot of people have suffered due to this. Meanwhile, former cricketers, Aakash Chopra and Adam Gilchrist have called out fake news related to Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. In the fake news, Gilchrist was quoted as saying “Kohli is being rested on a regular basis these days, I think they want Sachin’s record to be unbeaten” – Adam Gilchrist

Apparently, after Kohli was rested for the two ODIs against Australia, there has been a conspiracy theory going on among the fans that the Mumbai lobby is trying to ensure that Kohli doesn’t break Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI hundred. The former has 47 hundreds to his name.

Meanwhile, three-time World Cup winner, Adam called out and mentioned that he never made such a statement.

On the other hand, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra called for action to be taken against these things.
