2024 Image From Wimbledon Falsely Shared As Sachin Tendulkar Applauding Shubman Gill’s Edgbaston Knock Against England

Claim

Former Indian batter and cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar and his wife, Anjali, give a standing ovation to Indian cricket captain Shubman Gill after he followed up his 269 with a 161 in the second innings during the second Test match against England at the Edgbaston stadium on Saturday.  

The archived version of the post can be seen here. India on Sunday beat England by 336 runs to seal its first-ever Test win at the venue in Birmingham and level the series 1-1

Fact

Newschecker did not find any such image of Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar at the Edgbaston test, indicating that the viral photo is not from the Edgbaston match.

We then ran a reverse image search, which led us to the same photo, uploaded by Getty Images on July 6, 2024.  “Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar attend day six of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 06, 2024 in London, England,” read the caption of the photo, confirming that it is not related to the recently concluded India-England test match at Edgbaston.

Similar photos uploaded by Shutterstock, Wimbledon’s official X account and Rediff on July 6, 2024 further confirm that the viral image is being shared with a false claim.
