Sehwag shares doctored video of Pakistan fan destroying TV set after his team loses to India
Fact-checker Zubair shares original video
New Delhi: Former Indian Cricketer and opener Virender Sehwag on Sunday shared a doctored video of a fan destroying his TV set in frustration. Sehwag on his social media handles shared the video claiming that the video was of a Pakistani fan who was breaking his TV set after India defeated Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG in the T20 WC 2022 encounter.
In the video, it was shown that the fan was watching the final ball of Ind vs Pak match of Sunday which ended in a dramatic finish with the match hanging in balance till the last ball before Ravichandran Ashwin scored the winning runs after a brilliant match-winning knock of Virat Kohli.
Sehwag in his post captioned the video, “Relax Padosi , it’s only a game. Hamaare yahan Deepawali hai toh pataakhe phod rahe hain aur aap bevajah TV phod rahe hain Nahin yaar, TV ka kya kasoor.” (Relax neighbors it’s only a game. We are bursting firecrackers to celebrate Diwali, and you guys are breaking TV for no reason. What is the fault of TV) Sehwag wrote with a tinge of sarcasm.
Replying to the 17-minute video clip shared by Sehwag, fact-checker, and co-founder of AltNews Mohammed Zubair shared the original clip and which shows a man watching a football match on TV before destroying the TV set in frustration.
The man in the video is evidently frustrated with his TV set turning off repeatedly at the key moment before he loses his cool and destroys the TV set.
Zubair, also with a tinge of Sarcasm shared the video with the caption “Full video. Last three overs.”
Relax Padosi , it’s only a game.

Wayanad LS bypoll: Priyanka crosses lead achieved by Rahul in 2024 Lok Sabha polls
Wayanad (Kerala) (PTI): Top Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was on Saturday comfortably cruising towards her maiden electoral win from Wayanad in Kerala, as she surpassed the lead achieved by her brother Rahul Gandhi in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls earlier this year with party leaders and ally IUML predicting a big win for her amid the counting trends.
The Congress-led UDF's candidate from this hill constituency, Priyanka, extended her lead by over 3.8 lakh votes after five hours of counting of the ballots in the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll, according to the Election Commission.
Reacting to the lead achieved by Priyanka, Congress' ally Indian Union Muslim League and Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said she would get more votes than her brother Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha polls in April this year and will win by a record margin.
"An amazing first trend on counting day is the massive early lead for our leader @priyankagandhi ji in Wayanad, Kerala, by-election. People of Wayanad are surely going to record in victory margins today and Priyanka ji will make Parliamentary debut with a grand win," Reddy said in a post on 'X'.
IUML supremo Panakkad Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal said that going by the trends, Priyanka will get more votes than what Rahul got and the majority she achieves would also be higher than that of her brother.
A similar view was expressed by IUML's national general secretary P K Kunhalikutty.
On the other hand, BJP leader Anil K Antony, earlier in the day, had claimed that though Priyanka has achieved a good lead, her victory margin would be less than what Rahul got in the 2024 and 2019 LS polls in the hill constituency.
According to the latest EC figures, Priyanka had a lead of 3,82,975 with 5,78,526 votes. LDF's Sathyan Mokeri was behind her with 1,95,551 votes and NDA's Navya Haridas was in the third spot with 1,04,947 votes.
Rahul had got 6,47,445 votes and won by a margin of 3,64,422 votes against his nearest rival, CPI's Annie Raja, in the LS polls this year. In 2019, he had got 7,06,367 votes and had won by a margin of 4,31,770 votes.
After winning from Rae Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh as well, in this year's polls, Rahul vacated the Wayanad seat, and the party nominated his sister Priyanka, paving the way for her electoral debut.
The bypoll turnout in Wayanad, which has over 14 lakh registered voters, was around 65 per cent, a decline from the close to 74 per cent in the LS polls held in April this year and much lower than the over 80 per cent turnout in the hill constituency in the 2019 general elections.
The counting of votes commenced at 8 am with postal ballots being taken up first.
The strong rooms, where the EVMs were kept, were opened more than an hour before counting began.
The bypoll for the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat was held on November 13.
Of the 16 candidates who contested, the main contenders are Priyanka, ruling CPI(M)-led LDF's Sathyan Mokeri, a political veteran, and BJP-headed NDA's Navya Haridas.
