The behaviour of a section of fans has once again drawn criticism from the cricketing community. In this case, some self-proclaimed fans of Virat Kohli were called out for making an inappropriate comparison during a moment of personal tragedy.
Following the death of Rinku Singh’s father, a fan account shared a post claiming to express condolence. However, the message quickly crossed a line.
The post compared the passing of Rinku Singh’s father with the death of Virat Kohli’s father. It went on to suggest that Rinku’s father passed away in peace after seeing his son succeed, while Kohli’s father did not witness his son’s rise.
The comparison shocked many readers. Cricket fans and neutral observers strongly criticised the post for dragging an unrelated personal tragedy into a sensitive moment of grief.
Many pointed out that death is deeply personal. Using it as a tool for comparison, especially to elevate one player over another, was seen as disrespectful to both families.
Public reactions highlighted the lack of empathy shown in the message. People questioned why a moment meant for mourning was turned into an unnecessary debate about greatness.
Several users stressed that grief should never be used to promote personal fandoms. Respect and sensitivity matter more than loyalty to any individual player.
The incident has once again raised concerns about toxic fan culture online. Many believe basic human empathy should guide how fans react, especially during moments of loss.
