Indian cricket team fast bowler Mohammed Shami took to social media to slam ‘false’ media reports that claimed he criticized Amit Mishra for the latter’s comments on Virat Kohli. Some media reports suggested that Shami’s comments about Kohli during the interview with Shubhankar Mishra on YouTube were a direct response to Mishra who claimed that Kohli changed due to ‘fame and power’. However, Shami rubbished such rumors and even said that it is his request to new media houses to check and verify their stories. “Disappointed to see false information circulating about Amit Mishra. It is a humble request to check news sources before publishing,” Shami posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
