Former Indian cricketer has debunked a claim by Pakistan’s Prime Minister that his nation had won a recent match against India, citing lack of evidence.
The claim was posted by Pakistan’s Prime Minister on social media, asserting that his country had secured a victory over India in a recent match.
An ex‑Indian cricketer responded by fact‑checking the post, stating that no such match had taken place and that official records show no recent contest between the two teams.
The former player cited the absence of any scheduled bilateral series and the lack of match reports as evidence that the claim was unfounded.
The incident underscores the spread of misinformation on social platforms and the role of public figures in correcting false narratives.
