Ziva Dhoni, the five-year-old daughter of former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have been receiving rape and deaths threats following CSK’s poor performance in Wednesday’s IPL match.
Cricket is one of the most popular games in India. But it is also the biggest catalyst for bringing out toxic misogyny among men. And the latest example of such toxicity followed the Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match on Wednesday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav were on the receiving end of social media trolling after CSK failed to chase down the target of 168 set by KKR at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
But while violent trolling and abuse of players (and even their wives and girlfriends) is a common reaction from so-called “fans” every time their favourite team loses a match, the hate now seems to be spreading to children and minors.
In a disturbing incident, while hundreds trolled Dhoni, some tweets and Facebook posts threatening Dhoni’s five-year-old daughter also surfaced. And not just any threat, these were threats of rape and physical violence.
