BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla chastised a Pakistani TV outlet for a viral AI-morphed video of his comments on the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 match. This match will be played on February 12 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The viral video, which was broadcast on Pakistani TV station ARY TV, wrongly claimed that the BCCI coerced Pakistan into playing India in the forthcoming match in Colombo.

In the video, Shoaib Malik, a former Pakistan captain, presented an alleged AI audio clip of Congress MP Rajeev Shukla. He was responding to Pakistan's unexpected U-turn on its boycott of the India-Pakistan high-voltage match.

On the cricket show, Malik can be heard saying, "I want to show you a clip of BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla."

"I am delighted to see the outcome of the deliberations initiated by the ICC representative on the repeated request by the BCCI to convince Pakistan to play against India. It is a good and amicable solution which has been found to give priority to cricket. This is what has been done," Rajeev Shukla can be heard as saying in the morphed video which aired on ARY News.

However, Rajeev Shukla swiftly clarified that the video was manipulated, urging social media to report such videos in the future.

"A video of my remarks on the India Pakistan World Cup match has been manipulated using AI to alter the audio. These statements are not mine. I urge everyone not to believe or circulate this misleading content and to report it wherever such videos are seen," the BCCI VP posted on X.

Shukla furthermore asked ARY News and Shoaib Malik to stop circulating the video and shared his original video.

“The video circulating with altered, AI-generated audio in my name is fake. @realshoaibmalik, @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL and @Salman_ARY, please stop circulating this misleading content. For reference, here is my original video,” Shukla posted while sharing the actual video.
