Abhishek Sharma’s slippers go missing at Vrindavan temple, viral video sparks buzz | WATCH

A video showing Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma reportedly searching for his missing slippers outside a temple in Vrindavan has gone viral on social media.

The incident took place when Abhishek Sharma, who is playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2026, visited the famous Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan along with his mother for darshan. According to visuals circulating online, the left-behind slippers could not be found after the visit, prompting a brief moment of confusion outside the temple premises.

The video, shot by an X user, shows Sharma looking around the crowded temple area where footwear is typically left before entering. Background narration in the clip claims that while many slippers were present, the cricketer’s pair and his mother’s were missing at the spot where they had been placed.

The person recording the video can be heard suggesting that the incident was not a case of theft but rather a result of heavy crowding and misplacement of footwear, which is common at busy pilgrimage sites. Temple surroundings are often congested, especially during peak visiting hours, leading to confusion over personal belongings.

Shortly after the incident, temple authorities are said to have helped arrange replacement footwear for the cricketer and his family, allowing them to continue their visit without further disruption. There has been no official statement from Sharma or his franchise regarding the viral clip.

Mathrubhumi could not independently verify the authenticity or timing of the clip.
