The controversy between this duo was initiated after the ‘Hate Story 4’ actress said that an ‘RP’ from Delhi Capitals was waiting for her at the hotel lobby and called her several times to meet.

India pulled off a dominant start to their Asia Cup journey as they outclassed their eternal rival Pakistan in the opening match on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.
Pakistan’s fiery bowling attack made it a bit difficult for the Rohit Sharma-led side. However, the commendable 52-run partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya helped them survive the nail-biter.
Along with the fans of both countries, some glittering names from the film industries were also present in the stands to witness the blockbuster clash. Apart from the Liger star, Vijay Deverakonda, Urvashi Rautela, decking up in a bright red dress and a purple coat was also caught on camera while waving the tri-colour.
As Rautela’s name has been doing rounds on social media after her controversial exchange with Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, her presence triggered the gossip again. Notably, Pant was dropped from India’s starting eleven in the favour of Dinesh Karthik. The veteran cricketer delivered a good performance behind the stumps by taking a couple of crucial catches but did not get enough time with the bat.
Coming to the point, not only the Bollywood actress but Pant was also captured several times from the Indian dugout. The controversy between this duo was initiated after the Hate Story 4 actress said that an ‘RP’ from Delhi Capitals was waiting for her at the hotel lobby and called her several times to meet.
Following that comment, Pant shared a tweet on his personal account calling Rautela ‘Didi.’ However, he immediately deleted it. The Indian batter and the B-town actress were rumoured to be dating for quite some time before the gossip landed. At that time, Twitter was also flooded with sarcastic and hilarious posts from fans. Following the previous controversy, a plethora of memes about this duo again surfaced on the internet.
A user uploaded a still from the Bollywood movie Fukrey to present yesterday’s scenario at the stadium:

A person sarcastically said, “Urvashi Rautela is in the stadium to recreate the ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’ ending scene with Rishabh Pant.”
