Team India is currently on a tour of England where the five -match Test series is being played. The series has three matches and Team India is currently behind in the series 2–1. Now everyone is waiting for the fourth Test. In this series, many videos from players to the audience went viral. However, during the Lord’s Test, a video is the most viral on social media these days and this video is being discussed everywhere.

This is the video of Indian cricketer Jitesh Sharma, who is being claimed that he was stopped by the guard from going to the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. In the viral video, Jitesh is repeatedly telling who he is but the guard is not letting him go inside.

What is the whole matter

As it can be seen in the viral video that Jitesh kept telling his identity, but the guards did not listen to him. They were not allowed to go to the ground but now another aspect of this has come to light. Dinesh Karthik himself has clarified this viral video and rumors.

These are some issues with social media that a lot face

I Invited Jitesh to the Comm Box, He Had Come, And I Came and Met Him Down and Took Him to the Comm Box and He Met Everyone there

Btw this is below the media center, not the entrance to the ground https://t.co/Z22AAYP3CN

Dinesh Karthik wrote, “It is common to have such things on social media. I was the one who invited Jitesh in the commentary box. I went down and met them and took them up the commentary box, where they met everyone. The place seen in the video is below the media center and not the main gate of the ground, as claimed in the video.

After Dinesh Karthik’s statement, it becomes clear that the claim being made about Jitesh is not true.
