Ducky Bhai and Momin Saqib deny rejection of Indian visa. Pakistani YouTubers have categorically denied reports that they were denied an Indian visa for the ICC World Cup 2023.
According to social media reports, YouTubers Nadir Ali, Momin Saqib, Saadur Rehman aka “Ducky Bhai,” and a UAE-based Indian TikToker known as “Love Khaani,” who poses as a Pakistani, have not been granted visas for the mega event.
Following unexpected delays in granting visas to Pakistani players who had to change their plans for the tournament and arrived in Hyderabad last night, these rumours gained traction.
Ducky Bhai responded to these allegations by stating that there are rumours circulating that he applied for an Indian visa for the ICC World Cup 2023, which was denied.

There’s news circulating that my Indian visa got rejected. Just to clear the air, I haven’t even applied yet!
I’d also like to take this opportunity to emphasise on the importance of fact-checking & verifying news from authentic sources before spreading misinformation
Thank you
