Actress Akriti Negi’s incredible Rise and Fall journey has become one of the amazing moments of the season in no time. Her bravery, a never-say-die attitude, and a unique sense of humor have not only won the hearts of the audience but also gotten the attention of the Indian cricket stars.

The show hosted by businessman Ashneer Grover has contestants locked into a unique setup where they are tested for their resilience and adaptability. Akriti, who earlier appeared on Splitsvilla and Roadies, has earned a reputation as one of the strongest participants on the show. With the finale drawing near, a clip of Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan urging fans to vote for her has gone viral on social media.

The video, shared by tennis player Anshuman Srivastava on Instagram, shows Ishan Kishan appealing, “Please everyone, vote only for Akriti.” In the background, Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh’s songs can be heard playing, adding a fun element that caught the attention of fans.

Cricketers’ Support and Rumoured Connections

Ishan’s support surprised many fans, who expected him to back Dhanshree Verma, the ex-wife of Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Rumors also suggest that all-rounder Nitish Reddy and pacer Akash Deep have quietly backed Akriti Negi, though none have posted publicly on social media.

A possible reason behind Ishan Kishan’s vocal support is Akriti’s rumored relationship with tennis player Anshuman Srivastava. Considering that Anshuman is close friends with both Ishan and Shubman Gill, Ishan’s support looks more like a gesture of goodwill to the partner of his friend.
