Anushka Sharma’s Fans Defend Her Amidst Online Abuse Following Virat Kohli’s ODI Ducks

Anushka Sharma’s supporters have rallied to her defense after she became the target of online vitriol following her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli’s, consecutive ducks in a recent ODI series against Australia. Despite Kohli’s long-standing success, his recent form has led to a resurgence of unfounded blame directed at Sharma.

Social media platforms have seen a surge in derogatory comments linking Sharma to Kohli’s performance, with some users suggesting that her influence has negatively impacted his career. One particularly disturbing comment even wished harm upon her.

In response, Sharma’s fans have condemned these misogynistic attacks. On platforms like Threads and X (formerly Twitter), users criticized the tendency to blame women for men’s failures, highlighting the persistence of such narratives since Sharma and Kohli’s relationship became public. One user remarked, “It’s cute how men’s fragile egos need a woman to blame every time their favorite player has a bad day.”

Some fans speculated that the couple’s decision to relocate their family to London might be a move to shield themselves from the relentless online harassment. Sharma and Kohli, married in 2017, have two children: daughter Vamika and son Akaay. The couple has consistently maintained a low profile, striving to keep their personal lives private.

This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by public figures and their families, who often bear the brunt of online abuse linked to their partners’ professional setbacks.
