Recently, two individuals were mistakenly assigned the mobile number of Rajat Patidar, leading to unexpected calls from cricket stars Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin recalled an incident during IPL 2025 when a scammer contacted him, requesting Virat Kohli\u2019s phone number. This event coincided with a funny situation in Chhattisgarh, where a man named Manish was reassigned the deactivated number of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Rajat Patidar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to PTI, Patidar\u2019s number had been inactive for 90 days, causing it to be deactivated and reassigned to Manish. As a result, Manish began receiving calls from prominent RCB players like AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli, who were trying to reach Patidar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Patidar got in touch with Manish to explain that the number was his personal contact, containing important connections related to RCB, Team India, and Madhya Pradesh cricket, he requested Manish to return the SIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After learning that the police had also become involved, Manish and his friend Khemraj generously agreed to return the SIM. They said it was a dream come true to have spoken with cricket legends Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after the 2025 IPL, a scammer pretending to be New Zealand wicket-keeper batter Devon Conway reached out to Ravi Ashwin, asking for Virat Kohli\u2019s contact details.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the incident on his YouTube channel, Ashwin revealed his own amusing encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA guy messaged me after IPL 2025, claiming to be Conway. He said, \u2018Hi buddy, how are you?\u2019 I replied, and we ended up having a full conversation. I told him to keep in touch and promised I\u2019d watch him play in the MLC,\u201d Ashwin recounted with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the scammer asked, \u201cI missed Virat\u2019s number; can you share it?\u201d Ashwin found this suspicious but didn\u2019t want to question him directly, fearing it might offend \u2018Conway.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things became clearer when the caller also asked for MS Dhoni\u2019s <\/a>and Rohit Sharma\u2019s numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I realized it was a prank or scam. I sent him a fake number claiming it was Virat\u2019s. Then he asked for a few more numbers. When I questioned who else, he mentioned Rohit and Dhoni. I knew then it was a scam,\u201d Ashwin explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To confirm, Ashwin said, \u201cI asked him, \u2018I gave you a bat this year; how is it?\u2019 He replied, \u2018The bat is amazing.\u2019 But I never gave Conway a bat! That\u2019s when I blocked him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
