In 2019, Hardik Pandya shared a picture of him, MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and Mayank Agarwal. The group were on their day out after securing a spot in the 2019 ICC ODI World Cup Semi Finals.
What caught the eye of everyone was a hand on the left shoulder of Rishabh Pant. Pandya and MS Dhoni stood ahead of Pant, so there was zero chance it was their hands. But Bumrah and Agarwal were too far from the young keeper, so it was tough for fans to figure out whose hand it was. For years fans kept on debating and discussing the same.
Finally on 28th September, Mayank Agarwal broke his silence on the matter. On his Twitter account he revealed whose hand was on Pant’s shoulder. He wrote, “After years of extensive research, debates, and countless conspiracy theories, let the nation finally know : it is MY hand on @RishabhPant17 shoulder.”

Others were finally happy the mystery was solved, with the debates and arguments between fans finally over. Finally one of the biggest mysteries of Indian cricket was finally solved and fans found closure on this serious matter.
