Did RCB decline signing Rishabh Pant because of Virat Kohli? Indian wicket-keeper calls out X user for spreading fake news

Rishabh Pant recently called out fake news regarding his supposed transfer to Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Rumours had spread that Virat Kohli opposed Pant joining RCB due to ‘political tactics’ within the Indian team and

Delhi Capitals.

Pant, who captains DC, was quick to address the misinformation. After recovering from an injury, Pant returned to

the cricket field and is preparing for the next IPL season. However, baseless reports linking him with RCB prompted

a stern response from the wicketkeeper-batter.

Reports surfaced on social media claiming that Pant approached RCB through his manager to replace Faf du Plessis

as captain, which was allegedly rejected. The same rumours stated that Kohli didn’t want Pant in the team due to

internal politics

Pant responded to these claims by calling them “fake news” and urged people to be more responsible. In a message

posted on X, Pant expressed frustration at the spread of false information, saying it creates an untrustworthy

environment.

He urged fans to verify sources before spreading information. He also mentioned that this isn’t the first time

misinformation has been spread but felt the need to address it this time.

Pant clarified that such baseless rumours harm the trust within the cricketing community and warned against

creating unnecessary negativity.
