“…The interesting concept of the coupling between matter and geometry leads to different modified theories such as f (R, T ) gravity (Harko et al 2011), f (R, T, R γδ T γδ ) theory (Haghani et al 2013;Odintsov and Sáez-Gómes 2013) and f (G, T ) gravity (Sharif and Ikram 2016), where T exhibits the trace of energy-momentum tensor (EMT) and G stands for Gauss-Bonnet invariant. Among these modified theories, f (R, T ) gravity received much attention by several researchers in describing various astrophysical as well as cosmological scenarios with and without electric field (Houndjo 2012;Zubair 2012, 2013a, b;Farhoudi 2013, 2014;Sharif and Zubair 2014;Moraes 2015;Moraes et al 2016;Sharif and Siddiqa 2017;Das et al 2017;Sharif and Waseem 2018a, b;Deb et al 2018a, b;Siddiqa 2018, 2019;Sharif and Nawazish 2019;Sharif and Waseem 2019).…”
