India is a nation crazy for cricket. People are seen chanting prayers, wearing lucky shirts, sitting in a specific position while watching matches, and other things. Cricketers are revered and treated like superstars.
However, there is also another side to the coin. When they lose, their wives and girlfriends are often controlled and attacked on social media. The wife of Indian captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress, Anushka Sharma, has been on the receiving end numerous times.
Meanwhile, the toxicity and vile nature of trolling has reached new heights after an Instagram user sent rape threats to MS Dhoni’s five-year-old daughter, Ziva. The disturbing incident occurred after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Twitter users posted screenshots and reacted to the horrendous comments. One Twitter user wrote: “I just saw that Dhoni’s 6-year-old daughter, Ziva, is being raped and threatened with death because she didn’t play well in # IPL2020. Do people realize what idiots we’ve become? Where are we headed as a country? A morally dead and decadent nation!
“Man this is disgusting, Ziva is just a kid. I hope legal action is taken against this sick f * ck,” another Twitter user said.
Here are some reactions on Twitter:
