A manipulated image circulating online recently falsely claimed that Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, and cricketer Shubman Gill had officially announced their relationship. However, India TV's Fact Check team has determined that the image was digitally altered using Photoshop, and the original picture features Sara posing with her brother, Arjun Tendulkar.

The doctored image was initially shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, "Sara Tendulkar confirmed that she is dating Shubman Gill." Upon investigation, the Fact Check team found that the image had been tampered with, and no such confirmation exists.

Furthermore, a search of Sara Tendulkar and Shubman Gill's official Instagram accounts did not yield any such photo. Instead, a post from Sara Tendulkar on September 24, 2023, closely resembled the viral image. This post was shared on the occasion of Arjun Tendulkar's birthday and featured several pictures of the Tendulkar siblings. The caption of the post read, "Baby bro turns 24 on the 24th!!! Happiest birthday ! Your sister has always got your back."

This isn't the first time that false claims have been made about Sara Tendulkar and Shubman Gill's relationship. An earlier debunked rumour suggested that the two were on the verge of getting engaged after Shubman Gill's double century against New Zealand in a January 2023 ODI. However, this claim was also proven to be untrue.
