Chandigarh: Indian cricket’s new ‘crown prince’ Shubman Gill–who almost single-handedly knocked out a star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore with a century out of the IPL 2023 was allegedly abused on social media after the match.
Gill’s sister Shahneel, too, was bad mouthed. The Gujarat Titans had successfully chased down 198 in just 19.1 overs here on Sunday.
RCB’s loss did not go down well with a section of Virat’s fans who allegedly abused Gill on social media.
Even Gill’s sister Shahneel was was not spared by some fans, especially over her Instagram post after the match.
“What a wholesum day,” Shahneel wrote on Insta while sharing a few pictures from the match.
A number of fans wrote hateful comments on the post for both the brother and sister Shahneel and Shubman.
In response to the offensive comments targeting Gill and his sister, numerous fans expressed their outrage and criticised those responsible for the abuse.
“Look at the tweets today for Shubman Gill and his sister. Man this is why I hated when Kohli – Anushka pardoned that “IIT graduate” who gave a rape threat to Vamika. Some of these guys need to be behind bars and careers ruined. He should have been made an example to stop all this,” a user wrote.
“Some of the sick Kohli fans abusing Gill & his family (especially his sister). This toxicity and the negative energy created by these so-called fans are also one reason for the king to not see the light. GILL is the Future superstar of Indian cricket. Agree or CRY forever sickos,” another one said.
