Fake News Alert! Rachin Ravindra’s Iphone Was Not Stolen in Lahore, False Claims About New Zealand Cricketer Losing His Phone Before Champions Trophy 2025 Go Viral
When Rachin Ravindra got injured during the tri-series New Zealand played at Pakistan, he was admitted to a hospital in Lahore. That is when the claim first surfaced.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is currently getting hosted by Pakistan and UAE. Pakistan are the official hosts while India's matches are getting hosted by a hybrid model in Dubai. As the event goes on, a report that New Zealand cricketer Rachin Ravindra's iPhone got stolen in a Pakistani hospital went viral on social media. Ravindra was injured when ball hit his face during the tri-series preceding the Champions Trophy. He was taken to a nearby hospital during treatment and that is when the report came out. Although, renowned Pakistani journalist Faizan Lakhani has refuted the news saying nothing such has happened. The rumour was apparently sparked by a X user who runs a parody account.
