Fake Retirement News Circulates After KL Rahul's Instagram Post

KL Rahul's recent Instagram Story, which simply stated, "I have an announcement to make, stay tuned," sparked a flurry of speculation about his retirement.

This led to the circulation of a misleading screenshot that falsely claimed Rahul was retiring from cricket.

The fake post read: "After much reflection and consideration, I have decided to announce my retirement from professional cricket. This decision has not been easy, as the sport has been a significant part of my life for many years. I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from my family, friends, teammates, and fans throughout my career.”

“The experiences and memories I have gained on and off the field are truly invaluable. I am honored to have represented my country and played alongside so many talented individuals. While I am excited about the new chapter that lies ahead, I will always cherish the time spent in the game. Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey," the post reads further.

However, the retirement news is false. KL Rahul’s original Instagram Story was a teaser for a promotional campaign with the luxury streetwear jewelry brand 'Metaman by Drip Project.'
