✦ AI Brief
A social media post involving Rahmat Shah triggered confusion and panic among cricket fans after many mistakenly believed the Afghanistan batter had passed away. The confusion began when Afghanistan all-rounder Karim Janat shared a condolence message on Instagram along with Rahmat Shah's picture and a note written in Pashto.
