On Sunday (October 24), world witnessed the mother of battles on the cricket field between India and Pakistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup. In a sad state of affairs, it saw an end to India's winning streak against its neighbour in the World Cups. Fans were left heartbroken at India's defeat and although many of them agreed that it wasn't the best of days for the Indian cricket team, others retorted to trolling cricketers and their spouses.
While India's ace bowler Mohammed Shami was trolled for his performance, angry fans took no time to direct their hate towards Anushka Sharma, captain Virat Kohli's wife. A section of netizens took to Twitter where they blamed and incessantly trolled the actress for Kohli and Team India's poor performance. Some people dug up the couple's earlier appeal of not bursting crackers for Diwali.
And some even went a step further and questioned the actress about her "Karwa chauth vrat". A user wrote, "@AnushkaSharma Mam, aapne kal karwachauth ka vrat nahi rakha tha kya? #IndiaVsPak #T20WorldCup2021"

This is not the first time that the actress has been subjected to such massive trolling. In the past too, Anushka has found herself at the centre of hate after every key match of Team India. In 2016, Kohli had come out in support of Anushka when trolls spewed venom against her after Kohli's less than perfect performance in the T20 internationals.
