Many fans flooded the comment section and asked AI bots and other users to verify information. But a few hours later, the Sydney 76ers themselves let go of the suspense and said the position was an April April Fool’s Day prank.
“Good guy,” one user commented, another sarcastically said, “King Kohli finally won the trophy to win the franchise🤪🤪😭🤪🤪😭”, the third comment said, “Sorry, Sydney Six, you don’t have the strength to keep Kohli!
