The above post had gained over five lakh views on the platform.
What's the truth?: The viral video has been generated using the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and does not show real visuals. This makes the viral claim false.

The video was uploaded on 17 December 2025.
It was shared with a caption in Bangla that loosely translated to, "Fiz's reaction to going to KKR for 9 crores #mustafizurrahman #ipl #kkr #jamunasports."
The video showed a similar setting and the background as seen in the viral clip.
