Claim
A viral post shows a photo of a fan of an IPL team who is seen in the stadium along with other spectators. The picture shows the fan holding a placard, which mentions some expletive-laden things about Aurangzeb, the 17th-century Mughal ruler. While sharing the image the users wrote the caption, “CSK has the best fan base for a reason.”
Furthermore, we found other users who shared the same image with homogeneous claims.
Fact Check
Upon investigation, the DFRAC team found the claim to be misleading. The viral image is digitally edited.
The viral image is digitally edited and the text is carefully inserted using overlay.
Furthermore, the reverse image search led us to an X (formerly Twitter) post by Rathna kumar (@MrRathna). He has posted it on 23 March 2025. The caption for the image says, “Thank you Dhoni for making my Adulthood Awesome. Thank you Universe for yet another Euphoria. (sic)” Emojis and hashtags like Cskforlife and CSKvMI are there in the post. The user has tagged Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the caption.
Lastly, this original post shows the placard that says, “The Man, The Myth, The Mahi!!”.
Conclusion
Therefore, the fact check clearly shows that the viral image is misleading. The viral image is digitally edited. The original post was made by Rathna kumar which shows a placard in which appreciation for cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni is mentioned, and not expletives.
