Unreal Hate: Kohli Behind Toxic Fanwar?

The Indian Premier League brings out all sorts of emotions from players and fans alike due to its highly competitive nature. While expressing one’s emotions is okay, people should remember to stay within the limits of civility and keep criticisms just to the game.

Another wave of similar toxic fan culture was revealed when Shresta Iyer, the sister of PBKS Skipper Shreyas Iyer was targeted by fans of PBKS for Punjab’s loss against Bengaluru.

The trollers took the brutal way, leaving no stone unturned as they hurled abuses towards her, somehow blaming her for the outcome of the match.

Shresta handled the situation in a very mature way, taking to Instagram to politely express her viewpoint while putting the trolls in their place.

Kohli haters also jumped on the opportunity, trying to pin the blame for trolling on Kohli’s fans, which was quickly debunked as a desperate attempt to malign his fanbase, which, despite being toxic on their own, had no part in this incident.

Losing or winning is a part of the spirit of cricket, and fans must remember to maintain discipline towards the players and their families they claim to respect and look up to.
