Sameer Rizvi-Yesha Sagar controversy: Relationship, Hindi-Muslim religion angle and what’s being said online

A recent tweet by journalist Abhishek Tripathi has stirred controversy and made the cricketing fans across social media chirp as they try to decode the context behind the development. The tweet has been shared by the journalist have started fans online drawing their own conclusions, linking the situation to cricketer Sameer Rizvi and anchor Yesha Sagar.

The tweet stated that a cricketer from Uttar Pradesh, who has been rumoured to be dating an anchor from the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, and the friend of the anchor, have revealed that the cricketer has forced the anchor to learn ayats, and also made her delete some photos from her Instagram ID.

Fans predict that Sameer Rizvi makes Yesha Sagar to change religion

Ayat is a "verse" in the Quran, representing one of the numbered statements of varying length that make up its chapters (surah). There are over 6,000 such verses in the Quran, which are considered to be divine messages, signs, or miracles from Allah (God).

If the fans' prediction of the couple being Rizvi-Yesha Sagar, then it will turn out to be a huge backlash for the cricketer. As in recent times, the cricketer has been going through a good patch and scoring runs for the Delhi Capitals in the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

Sameer Rizvi started the IPL 2026 on a positive note, scoring two back-to-back fifties. However, the DC batter is now struggling with form as he has just one 40+ score in the last five innings, which is another concern for the franchise, who are also struggling.

You won't shake hands with any cricketer- Abhishek Tripathi's tweet

Abhishek Tripathi tweet said, "A Muslim cricketer from Uttar Pradesh is in an affair with a Hindu female anchor (not from the channel, but one anchoring in the league). The anchor's friend revealed that the cricketer tells her, "By the time I return from practice, memorize the ayats."

He says, "Now you won't shake hands with any cricketer. You'll do namaste." He made her delete all the bikini photos from Instagram. Preparations for another conversion are underway. Whether this is forced or consensual, only that anchor can tell, but what kind of love is this?"
