Yesha Sagar Responds to Viral False Claims Linking Her and Sameer Rizvi

The Delhi Capitals cricketer Sameer Rizvi has been wrongly accused on social media of forcing his rumoured girlfriend, sports presenter Yesha Sagar, into a religious conversion. The claims gained traction after a journalist’s post went viral, leading to widespread discussion and speculation across platforms.

The rumours originated from a post by sports journalist Abhishek Tripathi on X, where he mentioned that an Uttar Pradesh-based cricketer and a female anchor were in a relationship, and suggested there was alleged pressure related to religious conversion. This post quickly spread online and was later linked by users to Sameer Rizvi and Yesha Sagar, despite no verified evidence supporting the claims.

As the speculation intensified, several social media users further amplified the narrative, adding unverified details such as claims that the cricketer asked Sagar to delete her photos and forced conversion. These statements, however, remain unconfirmed and are based purely on online rumours.

Responding firmly to the situation, Yesha Sagar took to social media to shut down the allegations. In a brief and indirect statement, she wrote, “Don’t believe everything you see or read on the internet,” making her position clear while addressing the misinformation circulating about her.

Who is Yesha Sagar?

Born on December 14, 1996, in Ludhiana, Punjab, Yesha Sagar spent her early years in India before relocating to Toronto, Canada, in 2015 to pursue higher education. A graduate of Seneca College, she gradually transitioned into the media and entertainment industry, building a career that blends modelling, acting, and presenting.

Yesha first rose to prominence through her work in the Punjabi music industry, featuring in several high-profile music videos alongside notable artists such as Gippy Grewal, Parmish Verma, and Kulbir Jhinjer.

In recent months, Yesha Sagar has also been in the spotlight due to social media speculation linking her to Sameer Rizvi during the Indian Premier League 2026 season.

Reports of her presence at Delhi Capitals matches during the 2025 season further fueled speculation, though no verified evidence or official statements have substantiated these claims.

Sameer Rizvi's IPL 2026 Performance

Delhi Capitals batter Sameer Rizvi has had a mixed season in IPL 2026 so far, showing both promising starts and recent inconsistency. In 9 matches, he has scored 209 runs at an average of 34.83 and a strike rate of 149.29, reflecting his ability to score quickly when settled. Rizvi began the tournament on a strong note, playing an unbeaten 70 against Lucknow Super Giants and following it up with a career-best 90 against the Mumbai Indians. These innings highlighted his potential and impact at the top level.

However, his form has dipped in recent matches. He registered a duck against the Gujarat Titans, managed only 6 runs against the Chennai Super Kings, and scored 2 against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. He did, however, contribute 41 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad, showing flashes of recovery.

Overall, Delhi Capitals have also struggled for consistency this season, winning just 4 out of their 9 matches so far. In their recent victory against the Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets, Rizvi did not get an opportunity to bat, as the chase was completed by the top order.
