New Delhi: Passions always run high whenever India and Pakistan face each other, especially on the cricket field. In this backdrop, a video has gone viral on social media claiming to show a heated clash between players during an India–Pakistan Under-19 cricket match. The footage appears to show an Indian bowler and a Pakistani batsman getting into a physical confrontation, sparking widespread shock and intense reactions online.

Claim of a clash during a match

The viral video shows that as soon as the Indian bowler delivers the ball, the Pakistani batsman runs for a run. During this, the two players collide. The argument escalates to the point where they grab each other's collars, and a scuffle ensues. Within moments, the situation escalates to the point where other players and the umpire are seen rushing to intervene.

Collar-grabbing incident escalates the commotion

The scene in the video is quite aggressive, making it seem as if the cricket field has turned into a neighborhood brawl. This is why the video sparked a variety of reactions on social media. Many users linked it to the tension of the India-Pakistan match, while others called it against the spirit of the game.

Truth behind the viral video

However, investigations have revealed that the video is entirely AI-generated. It is not part of any actual India-Pakistan Under-19 match. The video was created solely to garner views and likes. According to experts, the players' actions and some visual cues in the video clearly indicate that it was created with the help of artificial intelligence.

Varying User Reactions

The video was shared from an Instagram account named cricketer_mukhiyaji, which has already been viewed by millions of people. Some users clearly wrote in the comments that the video was fake and AI-generated. Others reacted emotionally, commenting on the intensity of the India-Pakistan match. One user wrote, "The excitement of India-Pakistan matches is unique," while another said, "People are being misled by such fake videos."

This viral video has once again proven that not everything seen on social media is true. Therefore, it is crucial for users to verify the veracity of any video or news before trusting it, to avoid rumors and fake content.
