When Cricket Hate Crossed Boundary: Five Disturbing Cases Of Abuse Targeting Cricketers Families
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Cricket has long been celebrated as a gentlemans game, but in the age of social media, the line between passionate fandom and online mob fury has increasingly blurred. Too often, it is the families of cricketers who pay the heaviest price. Over the past decade, several incidents involving communal abuse, rape threats, relentless trolling, and mental-health trauma have exposed the darker side of modern cricket fandom. From India to Australia, prominent cricketers and their loved ones have endured severe online harassment after defeats, controversial moments, or heated rivalries. In response, players and their families have repeatedly urged fans to remember that behind every athlete is a real person with a family, and that rivalries should remain confined to the field. Here are five of the most disturbing examples: 1. Jessica Head abused after Travis Heads heated moment with Virat Kohli (2026) A tense on-field exchange between Travis Head and Virat Kohli during Sunrisers Hyderabads recent IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru spilled far beyond the boundary ropes, with Heads wife Jessica becoming the target of online abuse. During RCBs chase, Kohli and Head exchanged words, though the exact nature of the altercation remains unclear. After SRH completed a dominant 55-run win, Head attempted to shake hands with Kohli during the customary post-match greetings, but the former India captain walked past him without responding while greeting other SRH players. The clip quickly went viral, triggering intense reactions online. Jessica later revealed that she, along with family members and friends, was subjected to abuse on social media. She added that similar harassment had followed Australias victories over India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final, and the 2024 Boxing Day Test. It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family, Jessica told The Advertiser. Highlighting the wider issue of mental health in sport, she added: Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. 2. Mohammed Shami targeted with communal abuse after Indias 2021 T20 World Cup loss (2021) Indias crushing 10-wicket defeat to Pakistan at the 2021 ICC Mens T20 World Cup sparked one of the ugliest episodes of online harassment faced by an Indian cricketer. After Pakistan comfortably chased 151 in Dubai, Mohammed Shami, who returned figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs, became the focus of widespread abuse on social media. The criticism soon turned communal, with trolls targeting him for being the only Muslim player in Indias XI. Shami was labelled a traitor, accused of deliberately underperforming, and subjected to Islamophobic abuse that highlighted the toxic intersection of sport, nationalism, and religion online. The then-India captain Virat Kohli strongly defended his teammate ahead of the sides next match. Theres a good reason why we are playing on the field and not some bunch of spineless people on social media, Kohli said, condemning the trolls in unusually sharp terms. He also rejected the religious angle entirely, calling such attacks the most pathetic thing that a human being can do. Shami largely stayed silent during the controversy, but later hit back in an interview with The Indian Express, saying: Those who troll are neither real fans, nor are they real Indians. He eventually responded in the best possible way on the field, finishing as the leading wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup. 3. Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma and daughter Vamika subjected to rape threats (2021) Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma have long faced intense online scrutiny, but the backlash following Indias disappointing 2021 T20 World Cup campaign crossed an alarming line. As criticism of Kohlis captaincy intensified, Anushka once again became the target of misogynistic trolling. However, the outrage escalated further when the couples infant daughter, Vamika, received rape threats and violent online comments. The abuse triggered widespread condemnation from players, commentators, and public figures, many describing it as one of the darkest moments in Indian sports discourse. Police authorities launched investigations into several threatening posts, and in November 2021, Mumbai Polices cyber cell arrested a 23-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad in connection with one such threat. The episode underscored a troubling pattern in celebrity sports culture, where the families of athletes, particularly women and children, become targets after high-profile defeats. What made the case even more disturbing was that Kohli and Anushka had consistently tried to shield Vamika from public attention. 4. MS Dhonis daughter Ziva threatened after CSKs defeats (2020) In 2020, MS Dhonis family became the centre of another shocking case of online abuse after Chennai Super Kings poor IPL season. Following CSKs defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi, Dhonis five-year-old daughter Ziva received rape threats on social media. The threats surfaced on the Instagram accounts of Dhoni and his wife Sakshi soon after CSK failed to chase down 168, losing by 10 runs. What began as frustration over the teams performances quickly escalated into widespread outrage once the threats became public. The incident was condemned across the country by politicians, former cricketers, and civil society groups, many of whom described it as a new low in online sports culture. After formal complaints were filed, Gujarat Police traced one of the threatening messages to a 16-year-old Class 12 student from Mundra in Kutch district. The episode reignited debate over the growing toxicity of online fandom, particularly when abuse is directed at children completely removed from the sporting arena. 5. David Warner and Candice Warner after the Sandpaper Gate scandal (2018) The fallout from Australias infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal extended well beyond the players involved, with David Warners family becoming a major target of public hostility. As one of the central figures in the controversy during Australias tour of South Africa, Warner faced relentless criticism, but his wife Candice Warner later revealed the immense emotional toll the scandal took on their family. In interviews following the episode, Candice spoke about the constant online abuse and personal attacks directed at them. She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period. The Warner family also faced repeated crowd hostility during matches. Spectators wore masks referencing Candices past relationships and directed personalised chants at her from the stands.

She revealed that the prolonged stress and public scrutiny coincided with a miscarriage, which she linked to the emotional trauma of the period.

IPL 2026: It Was A Mix Of KKR's Poor Batting And Good Bowling By DC, Says Doull
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull said Delhi Capitals 40-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders was shaped by their disciplined bowling and lapses in the latters batting performance, with Kuldeep Yadavs double strike proving to be the turning point of the contest. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep finished with just ten wickets in IPL 2026, but signed off from the season on a high by picking 3-29 and helping DC beat KKR to end the season at sixth spot on the points table. It was a mix of poor batting from KKR and good bowling by DC. KKR started the chase well, but losing wickets at regular intervals broke their momentum. Also, the result of the Mumbai Indians game before this match took some edge off the contest. In a chase of 200, you forget how tough it really is. Everything has to fall in place. The game turned when Kuldeep Yadav struck twice in quick succession. Once new batters walked in, Kuldeep looked like a different bowler. That spell was the turning point. His ability to pick wickets in the middle overs is priceless. Those wickets in the middle phase choked the run flow and put the Kolkata Knight Riders under immense pressure. Kuldeep varied his pace smartly, bowled googlies at the right time, and didnt let any batter settle. He targeted the stumps and forced mistakes. That is what quality spinners do in such situations. And Mitchell Starcs catch to dismiss Manish Pandey was just as vital. In tight games, those moments separate the winners from the losers. Delhi Capitals held their nerve, while KKRs middle order failed to build any partnership, Doull said on Star Sports. Reflecting on DC and KKR missing out on a playoffs spot, Doull felt the little defeats eventually hurt them. Delhi Capitals were eighth before this game against KKR and after beating them, they moved up to sixth on the points table. One more win would have taken them to the playoffs. Kuldeep varied his pace smartly, bowled googlies at the right time, and didnt let any batter settle. He targeted the stumps and forced mistakes. That is what quality spinners do in such situations. And Mitchell Starcs catch to dismiss Manish Pandey was just as vital. In tight games, those moments separate the winners from the losers. Delhi Capitals held their nerve, while KKRs middle order failed to build any partnership, Doull said on Star Sports. Also Read: Live Cricket Score KKR too had a poor start to the season, but they showed that fight till the end. Nobody gave them a chance, but they stayed in contention until the last league-phase game. That shows how small the margins are. Punjab had a great first half but still missed out. That is the IPL. It keeps producing these kinds of finishes. Until the last day, there is always a chance to make the knockouts, he added. Article Source: IANS

Dasguptas comments come after KKR ended the season with a 40-run loss to Delhi Capitals at the Eden Gardens on Sunday evening. After a disastrous start to the season in which KKR lost their first six games, the three-time winners scripted a remarkable turnaround by winning six of their next seven matches. But Rajasthan Royals beating Mumbai Indians by 30 runs meant KKR were knocked out of the competition and they ended their season with a defeat giving them a seventh-place finish on the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders had a difficult season in many ways, especially with the unavailability of several players during the first half of the tournament, particularly in the bowling department. That made it challenging for them to settle on the right balance early on. At the same time, some of their key players, including Rinku Singh and Ajinkya Rahane, took time to find rhythm, and the team struggled badly in the opening phase of the season. But to their credit, they staged a strong comeback later on and there were positives to take away, Varun Chakaravarthy returning strongly after missing a couple of games was one of them. Even so, there are still a few obvious gaps in the squad that they will need to address heading into next season, Dasgupta said on JioHotstar. Looking ahead to Qualifier 1 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans, to be staged at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Tuesday, Dasgupta underlined the importance power-play deciding who will book their ticket to the final, to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. But to their credit, they staged a strong comeback later on and there were positives to take away, Varun Chakaravarthy returning strongly after missing a couple of games was one of them. Even so, there are still a few obvious gaps in the squad that they will need to address heading into next season, Dasgupta said on JioHotstar.

My gut feeling is that whichever team wins this game could go on to win the tournament, he added. Article Source: IANS
Maruti Alto 800 Used Car Under Rs 3 Lakhs: What Mumbai's Budget Used Car Market Actually Offers
For buyers looking at a Maruti Alto 800 used car under Rs 3 lakhs, Mumbai's used car market is one of the most active in the country. The city's large commuter population, high petrol costs and constrained parking create consistent demand for small, fuel-efficient second-hand cars at budget price points. But Mumbai also has specific dynamics that every buyer in this segment should understand before approaching a seller. The range of second hand cars in Mumbai at the sub-Rs 3 lakh level is wider than most buyers expect, covering 2015 to 2019 Alto 800s, older WagonRs, and occasionally early Celerios and i10s. Knowing what each option delivers, and what to check before buying in Mumbai specifically, is what separates a smart purchase from a costly one. What Sub-Rs 3 Lakh Gets You in Mumbai's Used Car Market Budget What Is Realistically Available Best Options Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakhs 2014 to 2016 Alto 800, early WagonR R3 Alto 800 LXI, WagonR LXI (if well maintained) Rs 2 to Rs 2.5 lakhs 2016 to 2018 Alto 800, older Hyundai i10 Alto 800 VXI, i10 Magna Rs 2.5 to Rs 3 lakhs 2018 to 2020 Alto 800, 2016 to 2017 Alto K10 Alto 800 VXI(O), Alto K10 LXI The Maruti Alto 800 used car continues to attract budget-conscious buyers because of its low maintenance costs, fuel efficiency, and easy city drivability. Mumbai-Specific Factors That Affect Budget Used Car Values Flood History Mumbai's annual monsoon flooding affects cars in low-lying areas including Kurla, Sion, Hindmata and parts of Andheri. A flood-affected car, even one that has been dried out and superficially repaired, carries long-term electrical and corrosion risks. In the sub-Rs 3 lakh segment, flood history is harder to detect because the cars are older and some level of interior wear is expected. Ask the seller directly about flood exposure and check the underseat area and carpets for water stain marks or unusual rust. CNG Conversion Many older Alto 800s in Mumbai have aftermarket CNG kits fitted, because the city's dense CNG network makes running costs extremely attractive. An aftermarket kit is not factory-standard, can affect insurance validity, and requires you to verify the cylinder certification date. Do not pay a premium for an aftermarket CNG kit. The value it adds in fuel savings may not offset the additional compliance and insurance complications. Registration and Scrappage Mumbai follows the national scrappage policy, which means petrol cars older than 15 years cannot be re-registered. When buying any car below Rs 3 lakhs in Mumbai, check the registration year carefully. A 2012 Alto 800, for example, will hit its scrappage limit by 2027, giving you very limited usable life. Target 2016 or newer for petrol cars to ensure at least 10 years of remaining registration viability. What to Inspect on a Budget Used Car in Mumbai Underbody rust: Mumbai's humidity accelerates corrosion. Check the chassis rails, floor pan and exhaust system for rust. Light surface rust is normal on older cars; structural rust on the chassis or floor is a deal-breaker Electrical condition: Flood and humidity affect wiring and connectors. Test every electrical function including AC, windows, lights and any instrument cluster warnings Tyre condition: Budget for Rs 12,000 to Rs 16,000 for a tyre set if the existing tyres are worn or aged beyond 5 years Engine oil condition: Check on the dipstick. Black oil indicates infrequent service. Milky oil indicates coolant mixing, which is a serious problem Conclusion The Maruti Alto 800 under Rs 3 lakhs in Mumbai's used car market is a genuinely practical purchase if you target the right year, inspect the car properly and verify the flood and registration history. Buy a 2017 to 2019 Alto 800 VXI with a verifiable service history, no flood exposure and clean paperwork, and you get a car that will serve reliably for daily city use at one of the lowest per-km running costs available in the Indian market.
