A social media post of former Indian cricket team’s legendary batsman and current famous cricket commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu is going viral. It has been said in this post that if India wants to win the 2027 World Cup, then BCCI should immediately remove Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar. Also, with full respect, the captaincy should be handed over to Rohit Sharma once again. After this post, Sidhu is being criticized a lot. However, the question is whether Navjot Singh Sidhu has really said this? Here you will get the answer.

For your information, let us tell you that Navjot Singh Sidhu himself has told the truth of the viral post. Sidhu wrote on social media, “Shame on you. I never said this. Don’t spread false news. This cannot even be imagined.” From this it becomes clear that the viral post is completely fake. In the era of AI, many times wrong posts in the name of former cricketers go viral. Something similar has happened this time too.

Shubman Gill has been made ODI captain

It is noteworthy that before the Australia tour, 26 year old Shubman Gill has been appointed as the ODI captain of India. Before this he had been given the command of the Test team. Gill was more than successful in his first assignment as captain in England. However, Gill could not win his first match as captain in ODI. Earlier the command of the ODI team was in the hands of Rohit Sharma. Rohit had won the 2025 Champions Trophy for India this year, but considering his age, he has been handed over to captain Gill.
