Ratan Tata: The cricket team from Afghanistan recently defeated that of Pakistan. Numerous posts went viral on social media following Afghanistan's victory. A similar post purportedly showed Indian businessman Ratan Tata deciding to gift Afghanistan player Rashid Khan Rs 10 crore following the team's victory over Pakistan.

Furthermore, allegations surfaced on social media that Rashid Khan raised the Indian flag following Afghanistan's victory; thus, the ICC fined Rashid Khan Rs 55 lakh.

Is Ratan Tata actually giving money to Rashid Khan?

I have made no suggestions to the ICC or any cricket faculty about any cricket member regarding a fine or reward to any players.

I have no connection to cricket whatsoever

Please do not believe WhatsApp forwards and videos of such nature unless they come from my official…
