Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer has lashed out in a fiery outburst at a popular social media platform over the spread of fake news about his injury.
Iyer, who has been dealing with some nagging health issues, took to his social media account to express his frustration over false reports that have been circulating online. According to multiple reports, Iyer is being forced to sit out Mumbai's next Ranji Trophy game due to his ongoing injury woes.
It seems that some reports had falsely stated the nature and severity of Iyer's injury, prompting the usually calm and composed cricketer to lose his cool. Iyer called out the platform and its users, urging them to 'do some homework' before sharing or believing such false information.
'Do some homework before sharing such false news,' Iyer wrote in a sternly-worded post. His remarks were aimed at the social media platform and its users, whom he felt had been irresponsible in spreading such false reports.
Iyer's outburst comes at a time when he and his team have been dealing with a tough schedule, with several high-profile matches lined up in the coming weeks. Given his crucial role in the team, Iyer's fitness has been the subject of much speculation and concern among fans and pundits alike.
Despite the intensity of the situation, Iyer's fans have rallied around him, praising his courage and spirit in the face of adversity. 'We stand by you, Shreyas,' wrote one fan, while another commented, 'Don't worry, champ! We'll support you through thick and thin.'
Meanwhile, the cricket community has also come out in support of Iyer, with several of his colleagues and friends expressing their solidarity with him on social media. It remains to be seen how this situation will play out in the coming days, but one thing is certain - Iyer is not going to take such false reports lying down.
