FactCheck

BOOM debunked the same video when it went viral in 2021. Upon performing a reverse image search, we found a post on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named Dr Ashutosh Misra who shared the video on January 18, 2021. Misra wrote, "Some extraordinary love for India at display at the Gabba this year." He further added, "I was very lucky to be at the right place and at the right time to record this amazing chant by this cool bloke and that too with an impeccable pronunciation." We also found a video report by India Today mentioning the scene to be from the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that took place in Australia at that time. Additionally, we also found a post by News24 anchor Manak Gupta who shared another video of the Australian supporter shot from "another angle" on January 20, 2021.
