Viral Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Response to Sanjay Manjrekar Is Fake
A message online looked like it came from young cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
It criticized former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar.
Many people believed the message was real.
However, Sooryavanshi does not have an official account on X. He also did not share the message on his Instagram account.
The account that posted it is a fan page, not an account managed by Sooryavanshi.
Manjrekar had criticized how Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal handled recent incidents.
Therefore, the viral response cannot be correctly attributed to Sooryavanshi.
A viral X post claimed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi called Sanjay Manjrekar’s comments toxic and immature.
The post followed Manjrekar’s criticism of incidents involving Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Sooryavanshi had confronted Sri Lanka A players after India A’s Super Over defeat in Dambulla.
Sooryavanshi does not have an official X account and made no matching Instagram post.
The account used his name and a verification badge but identified itself as an unaffiliated fan page.
