The controversy centers around allegations that cricketer Sameer Rizvi pressured his girlfriend, Yesha Sagar, to alter her social media presence and adopt certain religious practices. Yesha Sagar gained fame as a viral ‘mystery anchor’ during the 2026 Women’s Premier League. She has over a million followers on Instagram and has featured in over 30 music videos with Punjabi artists.
Rumors suggest Yesha and Sameer first met during the UP T20 League. Reports indicate that Sameer instructed Yesha to delete all biking photos from her social media. Allegations also claim he asked her to adopt specific religious practices.
Yesha has maintained silence regarding the allegations of religious conversion. Abhishek Tripathi stated that a ‘Muslim cricketer from UP’ is rumored to be dating a ‘sports anchor from the league’. Observers have noted the potential impact of this social media controversy on both their careers.
The exact nature of their relationship remains unclear. No timeline has been shared regarding any official statements or resolutions.
