Virat Kohli's spokesperson said claims that the batter received Rs 5 crore to visit Premanand Maharaj's ashram are completely false, baseless and factually incorrect. Dinesh Sharma, also known as Falahari Maharaj, alleged that a property builder lobby paid the amount to boost the spiritual leader's popularity. Kohli's team stated that the visits were made purely out of faith and reverence.

The denial puts the focus back on how quickly unverified stories about a player's personal life reach the public, and how hard it is for any cricketer to push back once the first claim lands.
