The former Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, recently shared a hilarious online ‘scam’ incident that he encountered during his stint in the Indian Premier League 2025 with Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The CSK spinner was targeted by an impersonator claiming to be Devon Conway, the Kiwi batter who plays for CSK. Ashwin mistook him to be Conway at first, but later realised that he was a scamster targeting him and asking for Virat Kohli’s phone number.

Ashwin and Conway were teammates during the IPL 2025; the former Indian spinner added that the prankster had almost fooled him. On his YouTube channel, Ashwin said: "After the IPL got over, one guy messaged me, claiming to be Devon Conway, ‘Hi buddy, how are you?' and I also responded, ‘We'll stay in touch. You're playing in MLC; I'll watch the games.’’ Ashwin further revealed that the person asked for Virat Kohli’s number, claiming that he had lost Kohli’s number, but interestingly, he gave him a different number. ‘I've lost Virat Kohli's number, can you share it?' I thought, Why is he asking for Virat's number? I thought I should ask him, but I didn't want Devon Conway to misunderstand. Then I picked Virat Kohli's card and gave him a different number.” Ashwin said that the imposter further went on to ask Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni's numbers, which made him a bit suspicious. He then used his intelligence to fool the scamster. Ashwin further said: “Once I shared it, he replied, ‘I've lost a few more numbers.' I asked whose numbers, and he responded, ‘Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.' I got suspicious and thought somebody was playing a prank. I then asked him a question, ‘I gave you a bat this year, how's that bat?' He said the bat is amazing, but I hadn't even given him any. He lied, and I blocked him instantly. The guy took a chance. I went back to the CSK group and checked Devon Conway's number, and it was not the same. At least I had the smarts to send the duplicate card of Virat. It was his WhatsApp number in Australia. Thank goodness, because he was asking for everybody's numbers.” Recently, a similar incident involving RCB captain Rajat Patidar happened in Chhattisgarh, where a man reportedly got access to Rajat Patidar’s old sim card and started receiving phone calls from Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. The person was then detained by the Police after Patidar lodged a complaint against him.
