Political tactics

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India wicketkeeper and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was left surprised with his possible link-up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. However, Pant reacted strongly to the social media post and called it "fake news".

A social media user on X claimed that Pant thought his manager approached RCB earlier this week "as he foresees a captaincy vacancy there but got declined by RCB's management". "Virat doesn't want Pant in RCB due to his Political Tactics in the Indian team as well as in DC," the post further added.

Meanwhile, the Indian star was quick to confront the X user and lashed out for spreading "misinformation" and creating an "untrustworthy environment".
