A recent tweet by journalist Abhishek Tripathi has sparked controversy and has cricket fans on social media twittering as they try to understand the context behind the development. The tweet shared by the journalist has led fans to start drawing their own conclusions online, linking the situation to cricketer Sameer Rizvi and anchor Yesha Sagar.
The tweet said that a cricketer from Uttar Pradesh, who is rumored to be dating an anchor of the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, and the anchor’s friend have revealed that the cricketer has forced the anchor to learn verses, and has also deleted some pictures from her Instagram ID.
Fans speculate that Sameer Rizvi forces Yasha Sagar to convert
Ayat is a “verse” in the Quran, representing one of a number of numbered statements of varying length that make up its chapters (suras). The Quran contains more than 6,000 verses that are considered to be divine messages, signs or miracles from Allah (God).
If the fans’ prediction about this pairing of Rizvi-Yesha Sagar is true, then it will prove to be a big blow for the cricketer. Like the recent times, the cricketer is having a good run and scoring runs for Delhi Capitals in the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
Sameer Rizvi made a positive start to IPL 2026 by scoring two consecutive half-centuries. However, the DC batsman is now struggling with form as he has just one 40+ score in the last five innings, which is another matter of concern for the franchise, who are also struggling.
You will not shake hands with any cricketer- Abhishek Tripathi’s tweet
Abhishek Tripathi tweeted, “A Muslim cricketer from Uttar Pradesh is in an affair with a Hindu female anchor (not from the channel, but an anchor who anchors the league). The anchor’s friend revealed that the cricketer tells her, “By the time I return from practice, memorize the verses.”
He says, “Now you will not shake hands with any cricketer. You will say Namaste.” She got all the bikini pictures deleted from Instagram. Preparations for another conversion are underway. Whether this is forced or with consent, only the anchor can tell, but what kind of love is this?”
Fans are reacting to Abhishek Tripathi’s tweet thinking it’s Sameer Rizvi-Yasha Sagar.
