Samir Rizvi from Uttar Pradesh, who is set to play for the Delhi Capitals in the 2026 IPL, is currently making headlines on social media. Allegations of 'Love Jihad' are being leveled against Samir Rizvi. For the past few days, Samir Rizvi's name has been linked with sports anchor Yesha Sagar. Several reports claim that Samir Rizvi and Yesha Sagar are in love and are dating each other. It is noteworthy that while Samir Rizvi is Muslim, Yesha Sagar is Hindu.
Various rumors regarding Sameer Rizvi are circulating on social media. It is even being alleged that Sameer Rizvi is asking Yesha Sagar to embrace Islam. Furthermore, he has reportedly forbidden Yesha from wearing a bikini and has instructed her to delete her bikini photos from social media. It is also being claimed that Sameer Rizvi asks Yesha Sagar to recite verses from the Quran. Additionally, it is being alleged that Sameer Rizvi has gone so far as to forbid Yesha Sagar from even shaking hands with other cricketers.
Numerous such claims regarding Sameer Rizvi are currently circulating on social media. It has now become imperative to ascertain the extent of truth behind these claims. Notably, Yasha Sagar shared a post on the social media platform 'X', stating, "Do not blindly trust everything you see or read on the internet." In this post, she categorically dismissed all these claims, labeling them as false.
It is worth noting that neither Sameer Rizvi nor Yesha Sagar has issued any statement regarding their relationship thus far. The claims that the two are dating are, for the moment, circulating solely on social media. Furthermore, it is being alleged that the two grew close during the UP T20 League—the very event where their romance reportedly blossomed. Yesha Sagar serves as an anchor for the UP T20 League, while Sameer is the captain of the Kanpur team.
Significantly, these rumors were sparked by a post from a sports journalist, in which they wrote that a Muslim cricketer from Uttar Pradesh and a Hindu sports anchor were in love. Following this speculation on social media, Yesha Sagar has reportedly unfollowed Sameer Rizvi on Instagram—a claim that is itself being asserted on the social media platform.
