Fake death rumor of Shahid afridi (Social media)
Sports News: A video has gone viral on social media about the death of former Pakistani cricketer and captain Shahid Afridi, which shook the cricket lovers. The video claimed that Afridi had passed away and he had been handed over in Karachi. Even a false mention of expressing condolences was made by the chairman and several officials of the Vision Group.
When this video was investigated deeply, it was revealed that this is Artificial Intelligence Generated Video, which is completely based on lies. Shahid Afridi is completely healthy and safe. The news of his death has not been confirmed by any official source. It is clear that this rumor has been spread under a well-planned conspiracy.
Significantly, many terrorist bases were targeted by the Indian Army under "Operation Sindoor" recently. During this time, Shahid Afridi made many anti-India statements, in which he did not spare the Indian Army and the citizens. After this, the Government of India banned the social media accounts of many Pakistani players and celebrities, including Afridi.
Shahid Afridi retired from international cricket in 2017. He scored more than 11 thousand runs in all three formats for Pakistan and also took a total of 541 wickets. Afridi is still the highest sixes player in ODI cricket. He has hit 351 sixes in his ODI career. Indian batsman Rohit Sharma is just 7 sixes behind this figure.
After retirement, Afridi started participating in political activities while distancing himself from cricket. He has often been in controversies in Pakistan's social and political discussions; especially his statements about India have been criticized many times.
The news of Shahid Afridi's death is completely misleading and baseless. There is a need to be cautious with such rumors being spread through social media. It is better not to believe in any information without fact-checking.
