Fan Gets Unexpected Calls from Kohli and de Villiers Due to Patidar’s Phone Number Reassignment

A bizarre situation arose where a fan inadvertently communicated with Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, thinking they were speaking with RCB’s Rajat Patidar. This was a result of Patidar’s old phone number being reassigned. The number, dormant for over three months, was given to Manish, who lived in the Gariaband district of Chhattisgarh. Upon activating the SIM, Manish found Patidar’s WhatsApp profile picture and soon started receiving calls from Kohli and de Villiers. The reality of the situation surfaced when Patidar requested the number back. The number was important for Patidar’s professional communication. The police were notified, and the SIM card was returned to Patidar. Khemraj, a friend of Manish, said that he was very happy to have the chance to speak with Kohli.
