A viral poster featuring Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma has been circulating on social media, with claims that it was displayed at the new Indian Parliament and Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The India TV Fact Check team searched the poster and found that this picture had been edited and wasn't displayed within either the new Parliament or Bharat Mandapam. Rather, the viral image of Rohit Sharma was displayed at the Chepauk Stadium Museum in Chennai.
The Twitter user who shared the viral picture wrote, "Rohit Sharma poster in India's new Parliament and G20 Summit, representing the sports honours of our country. Captain Rohit representing sports in G20 has now become a proud moment for all our Indians #G20India #G20India2023."
A reverse search of the viral image led to several social media posts featuring it, dating back to March 22, 2023, when it was first shared on Twitter. The tweet specified that the picture was taken at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
The original image is of the new Parliament of India, but the poster of Rohit Sharma has been superimposed on it. This can be seen by the fact that the edges of the poster are not smooth and there is a slight blur around it.
Additionally, there is no record of any such poster being displayed at the new Parliament of India or Bharat Mandapam during the G20 Summit.
Conclusion:
The image of Rohit Sharma's poster at the new Parliament of India and Bharat Mandapam is fake. It is a photoshopped image that has been circulated on social media.
