Amit Mishra, the experienced Indian cricketer, set the record straight about some false media reports claiming he was involved in a domestic violence and dowry harassment case. He firmly stated that he is unmarried and expressed his frustration over the misinformation. It’s really upsetting to see these stories making the rounds. They’re using my picture in a completely made-up story. Everyone knows I’m unmarried, so it’s ridiculous, he told IANS.
Mishra’s anger stems from several reports that hinted at a cricketer facing legal issues over dowry demands. While the articles didn’t specifically name him, they associated his image with the claims, which he found extremely disappointing. On social media, he clarified, I’ve always respected the press, but my photo is being used incorrectly. This has to stop, or I’ll consider legal action.
His coach, Sanjay Bhardwaj, also expressed his disbelief over the situation, saying, Amit is unmarried. It’s hard to understand why this story got out. This isn’t what journalism should be about. They need to check their facts before publishing.
Mishra has played 22 Tests, 36 ODIs, and 10 T20Is for India, taking 156 international wickets. He also has a solid track record in the IPL, with 174 wickets. His last game was in the IPL 2024 for the Lucknow Super Giants, where he played as an Impact Player.
