Ravichandran Ashwin revealed a stunning tale of how he almost got scammed by a person pretending to be Chennai Super Kings (CSK) teammate Devon Conway and nearly ended up giving the phone number of Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli to him. The 38-year-old revealed that he got a message in the days after the 2025 IPL finished from an unknown number, who claimed to be Conway. Ashwin stated that he had a conversation with him before the person asked for Virat Kohli's number. While at that point, the CSK star felt he was talking to the real Conway, he did not give him the real number. However, later, the person asked Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni's number, which made him vary. "After the IPL got over, one guy messaged me claiming to be Devon Conway, ‘Hi buddy, how are you?’ and I also responded that we’ll stay in touch. You’re playing in MLC; I’ll watch the games and all that talk. He then asked, ‘I’ve missed Virat Kohli’s number, can you share Virat’s number?’ I thought Why is he asking 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. "Once I shared it, he replied, “I’ve lost a few more numbers.’ I asked him whose numbers, he responded, 'Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.’ I got suspicious and then asked him a question, ‘I gave you a bat this year, how’s that bat?’. He said the bat is amazing, and I’ve not even gave him any bat, he lied and I blocked him instantly,” said Ashwin on his Youtube channel 'Ash ki Baat.'
