Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant called out a fake post on X that stated that he approached RCB through his manager and that Virat Kohli doesn't want him due to his "political tactics". "Fake news. Why do you guys spread so much fake news on social media? Be sensible guys...so bad," Pant wrote. "Don’t create untrustworthy environment for no reason," he added.
