Amid rumours of young India batter Shubman Gill dating cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar. The chants of 'Sara-Sara' are heard in the stadium wherever the young Punjab cricketer plays.

During the latest ICC Cricket World Cup match against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, a section of spectators was seen poking fun at Gill while raising the chants of 'Humari Bhabhi Kaisi Ho, Sara Bhabhi Jaisi Ho' (We Want Sara As Gill's Wife).

Unimpressed with such comments for his fellow teammate, star India batter Virat Kohli - who was fielding at slip cordon along with Gill - signalled the spectators for not raising such chants. He even signalled the vociferous crowd to help them concentrate on the game at hand.

However, now an image of Sara Tendulkar and Gill is getting viral on social media where Sara can be seen posing for the camera, putting her hands around Gill's shoulder. Social media is abuzz that with that image, Sara has made her relationship with the young India cricketer official.

But that is not true because the image is fake. It is a perfectly morphed image wherein Shubman's face has been super-imposed upon Sara's old photograph with her younger brother Arjun Tendulkar. The image was taken from Sara Tendulkar's Instagram post where she wished her younger brother a happy birthday.

News of the 'DEEPFAKE' video of actress and national crush, Rashmika Mandhana gaining a lot of public and media attention, the morphed image of Shubman and Sara further highlights the menace of such tools.

Such fake/photoshopped images are so well designed that they can fool anyone as it diminishes the line between real or fake. Such images are only aimed at tarnishing the image and causing mental trauma for the person/s they are intended against.

Sara - was spotted watching the match between India and Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium - gave a standing ovation to the India opener after his dismissal for 95 on November 2.

Gill, the exceedingly talented India batter, is in the news after climbing to the No.1 position in the latest ODI Men's Ranking for batsmen. The stylish batter - who missed a couple of World Cup matches earlier in the tournament due to dengue - raised his game and gradually picked up his performance in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

Gill - who became the second fastest Indian after MS Dhoni to climb to the number one rankings in ODIs - has dethroned Pakistan star batter and captain Babar Azam from the top spot after performances against Sri Lanka and South Africa in the ongoing ten-team showpiece.

Meanwhile, a Sara Tendulkar parody account on Wednesday (November 8) tweeted an image of Shubman Gill after the right-handed batter became the number of batter in the world in the latest ICC ODI Rankings.
