Preparations for IPL 2024 commenced after the 2023 World Cup, with all teams announcing player retentions. Amidst this, rumors circulated regarding Sanju Samson declining a captaincy offer from CSK. Social media posts by @TamsterzTJ and @CricketWithRosh went viral, echoing this claim. India TV, conducting a fact-check on November 30, addressed these rumors.

Ashwin clarified through tweets that the alleged information was baseless. India TV's fact-check nullified the viral claims, establishing them as false.

The claim originated from a post on social media by @TamsterzTJ, insinuating CSK's offer to Samson. Additionally, @CricketWithRosh's post alleged Ashwin's comments on his YouTube channel confirming the offer's almost-final status. India TV's article titled "Did Sanju Samson receive an offer to captain CSK?" debunked these assertions. Ashwin's tweets were embedded within the article, providing explicit denial. The investigation by India TV concluded that the viral claims were entirely unfounded, highlighting the absence of truth in the reports regarding Samson's purported rejection of the CSK captaincy.

In the technology news segment, this story reflects the impact of social media rumors and the importance of fact-checking to dispel false information within the sports domain. It underlines the significance of reliable sources and the need to verify claims before accepting them as true.
