 The article further stated that while the players were walking back to the dressing room in Dambulla. Religious comments by Pakistan batsman Ahmed Shehzad to Srilanka player Tillakaratne Dilshan after their one-day international last Saturday are being investigated by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Meanwhile, we also found the original video in which a Pakistani Cricketer told Dilshan to embrace Islam and you will go to heaven on the official YouTube channel of ABP NEWS which was uploaded 8 years ago. The headline stated: Convert and you’ll go straight to heaven: Pak cricketer makes religious pitch to Lankan player.

Conclusion:

It is clear from the fact check of DFRAC that there was no such conversation happened between  Messi and Ali it is just a false video. The conversation happened between Pakistan player Ahmed Shehzad and Srilankan player Tillakaratne Dilshan. Therefore the claim made by social media users is Misleading.
