Claim: A video went viral on social media claiming that a Pakistani cricketer was crying in the dressing room after Pakistan’s defeat against India in the Champions Trophy 2025. The caption of the video stated: “Unseen footage from Pakistan team’s dressing room, where a player can be seen crying after the loss against India. This is heartbreaking.”

Fact-Check: The video is actually from Pakistan’s match against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025, not from the match against India. Fakhar Zaman was injured during the match and was seen crying in the dressing room due to his injury and frustration. The video was shared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) itself, but was later misinterpreted by some social media users as being related to Pakistan’s defeat against India.

Details about Fakhar Zaman’s injury and withdrawal from the Champions Trophy 2025: In the opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Pakistan suffered a 60-run defeat against New Zealand. Fakhar Zaman suffered an injury during the match and was later ruled out of the tournament.

Conclusion: As Pakistan lost to India in the Champions Trophy 2025 by 6 wickets, some elements tried to link the old video to the recent match, creating a false impression. However, fact-checking revealed that the video has no connection with the match against India. This is not the first time an old video has been manipulated to create a false narrative. Cricket fans should verify information from credible sources before believing such unverified news and maintain the true spirit of sportsmanship. #PakvsInd #Fakenews
