Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Jitesh Sharma has been making headlines after a video went viral on social media, claiming that he was denied entry into Lord's Cricket Ground in London during the third Test match between India and England.
The video appeared to show Jitesh being stopped by security at the stadium gates. According to social media posts, he then called Dinesh Karthik, who reportedly helped him gain entry.
However, former India wicketkeeper and current commentator Dinesh Karthik took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the viral narrative, calling it fake news. Karthik clarified that he had invited Jitesh to the venue and that the RCB cricketer was simply waiting outside the media box at the iconic ground.
"These are some issues with social media that a lot face . I invited jitesh to the comm box , he had come , and I came and met him down and took him to the comm box and he met everyone there. Btw this is below the media center , not the entrance to the ground" wrote Dinesh Karthik
