Rishabh Pant, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman of Team India, is currently gearing up for the second Test against Bangladesh, which is set to take place in Kanpur. However, before stepping onto the field, Pant has vocalized his frustration regarding the rampant spread of false information about him on social media platforms.
Pant Addresses Fake News Head-On
Recently, rumors circulated claiming that Rishabh Pant expressed a desire to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), and that his manager had allegedly contacted the team’s owners regarding the same. However, Pant promptly dismissed these reports as utterly baseless. In a powerful message to his followers, he emphasized the importance of verifying information before sharing it.
A Strong Message on Social Media
Pant took to Twitter to express his annoyance, tweeting: “False news. Why do you people spread such false news on social media? This is absolutely wrong—show some understanding. Do not create a false atmosphere unnecessarily. This is not the first time this has happened, and neither will it be the last, but check your alleged sources before writing. Every day, it is getting worse. This is for all those people who spread such false news.”
Fake news. Why do you guys spread so much fake news on social media. Be sensible guys so bad. Don’t create untrustworthy environment for no reason. Its not the first time and wont be last but I had to put this out .please always re check with your so called sources. Everyday

Further Allegations and Clarifications
Alongside the claims of Pant wanting to join RCB, another unfounded allegation suggested that he intended to take on the captaincy of the team, which was purportedly rejected by the RCB management. The fake tweets also insinuated that former RCB captain Virat Kohli was against Pant’s potential inclusion in the team. These false narratives have evidently triggered Pant’s need to set the record straight publicly.
Focus on Performance in Kanpur
Despite the distractions of social media rumors, Rishabh Pant is focused on his performance in the upcoming Test. He recently starred in the second innings of the Chennai Test, scoring a remarkable century, marking a triumphant return to form after his recovery from a serious road accident. With his eyes set on delivering another strong performance in Kanpur, Pant aims to help lead Team India to victory and ensure a clean sweep over Bangladesh.
As the match approaches, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how Pant channels his emotions on the field and whether he can carry his excellent form into the next game. His commitment to silencing misinformation mirrors his determination to excel in his cricketing career.
