Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has addressed the swirling rumors linking him to tennis legend Sania Mirza in a recent interview.
Shutting Down Falsehoods:
Following Sania’s divorce from Shoaib Malik, social media buzzed with rumors of a potential marriage between Shami and Mirza. However, Shami appeared on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube show “Unplugged” to vehemently deny these claims.
Shami went beyond simply dismissing the rumors. He criticized the practice of spreading unsubstantiated information online, particularly when it affects people’s personal lives. He emphasized the importance of verifying information before sharing and urged viewers to be more responsible with online content.
Responding with Confidence:
Shami did offer a playful challenge, stating he would consider responding to the rumors if they were posted from a verified social media account. His message seemed to encourage people to focus on their own achievements and promote positivity instead of spreading negativity.
Weighing In on Big Retirements:
The interview also touched on the recent T20I retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Shami expressed his surprise at their decisions, acknowledging their immense contributions to Indian white-ball cricket. He conceded that while player transitions are inevitable, the void left by these legends will be difficult to replace.
