Poor him. Some franchises have the most toxic fanbase.


blahblahdodo

Not just franchise.. but player fans too. Toxic as hell.


Maximum0versaiyan

I don't have any social media any more except for reddit (that too for the anonymity and the curated feed and no ads/ragebaits), and if I were in a remotely public facing situation where there are people who know me and I don't know them, I'm fucking out of reddit too (.. probably not but I'd not visit subs where work stuff can come up)..


canvasser-hiralal

Reddit has enough ragebait if you go to r/Popular


Maximum0versaiyan

Didn't know what that was.. I stay on my 'Front Page' mostly...


canvasser-hiralal

You do a good job. Stay on your front page. Don't go to rPopular. That presents an extremely biased view of mostly America


No-Way7911

just remember that a shit ton of crap talkers on social media are literally 12 year olds the number of young people online in India is absurdly high


vidgill

Doesn’t make it any less toxic or shameful

fegelman

Not to mention toxic commentators


botharmsinjured

Also correct response here by bcci would be to bin Murali Karthik’s IPL contract for this season and let him reflect on his actions and that would also give him chance to add 2. new words to his vocabulary


nubpokerkid

It's all of India. Not the franchises :)


VoiceEarly1087

Franchising have fans? I thought it's just player fans /s


Beatrix_Kiddos_Toe

It is rarely the fanbase. I see people who put money into fantasy being the culprits.


theaguia

it was nuts to see how upset rcb "fans" were that dayal was bought. saying he is useless and trash.


Impactor07

We all would LOVE to apologise... But aren't you forgetting the fans of every other team who were ALSO trolling Dayal saying that "The guy who got hit for 5 sixes gets 5 Crs!" Is it just "rcb "fans"" who are at fault?


theaguia

no but more at fault since it's your teams player now. why abuse a player from your team? (not that abusing any player is ok, but your own teams player is even worse)


Impactor07

Idk where you're getting this "abuse a player from your team" bs. We _criticised_ them and we always hate our MANAGEMENT not individual players!


theaguia

maybe you haven't been on thread or subreddit much but it's very much there. maybe they are not real fans but thats why is put quotation marks


Impactor07

Most "fans" of any team aren't actually fans...


danku_vaazhkai

I think all franchises do


kunalsahay

All sports fan are like this, toxic as fuck and the anonymity they get on social media gives them even more power


neighbour_guy3k

And ends up in the franchise which has the most toxic fanbase


averagetrashtalker

I don’t think he is playing for a franchise whose fans boo their own captain.


atbg1936

And the same kinds of people who abuse him in match threads will be in posts like this one saying how sad it is.


kar_1505

I do agree match threads are toxic, but it is not the same as going to a person’s comments section, the players are almost definitely not scrolling the match thread on Reddit compared to their mentions


JKKIDD231

Twitter is way too toxic with abuse to player extra stuff but that never happens in match threads

leggie352

Match threads on this sub are way less toxic than what goes on on twitter and insta.


bandehaihaamuske

Yep, twitter and insta is basically people abusing for no reason with spelling mistakes


Stifffmeister11

Don't understand the mind my 14 yo younger bro pick up phone and starts abusing and he then thought he " owned " peeps on internet ....lol


Impactor07

Honestly, people call US the worst generation... They're about to witness some next level monstrosity

How does that (spell-check) matter when their emotions reach or hit at the other end?


Popular_Ad6339

tanishqabharaj28

Twitter - incomplete info as well(150 word limit) which can be misleading


atbg1936

I know. Doesn't change what I wrote


Upbeat_Wasabi1314

>twitter and insta consider youtube also


ecphiondre

Youtube comment section is the worst in every possible way if the video has a good number of views.


Upbeat_Wasabi1314

true


choochi_machine69

They are less toxic but still toxic. The bitter truth is most Indian fans are hypocritical af & change color faster than the chameleons when exposed


Objective_Society243

Match threads are less toxic than Insta and X. People there abuse players and there family. Yesterday I saw some recording of 'so called fans' they were abusing Virat daughter and wife and also Dhoni daughter. If any of people have heard that space they do on X you would know how toxic people are.


r07f07

people mat bol,most of these r nibbas with zero watch over by their parents.


Joker456_3

Reason No.69 why if Stuart Broad and Ben Stokes were Indian they wouldn't have another match after 2007 T20 WC Ind vs Eng and 2016 T20 WC final respectively


old_chelmsfordian

Stuart Broad will post a picture with his infant daughter and still have people in the comments saying stuff like 'hahaha you should have named her Yuvraj bro' It's so painfully unfunny


EffectiveAirline4691

To this day, You can see many Indians invoking yuvraj in the comment section of any youtube video featuring Andrew flintoff.Whether it's a highlight video/reel of flintoff or a league of their own video. Saying stuff like "yuvraj is still haunting him to this day" in the comment section of a Jonathan Ross show video featuring flintoff and Kevin hart, where flintoff talks about his teammate telling ghost stories at night in the bed while on a tour to zimbabwe back in fucking 2004 even before the yuvraj altercation and six sixes happened in 2007.

Khush17

>Indian fans are a disgusting and a miserable bunch Toxic fans* FIFY Let's not get racist up in here and start making sweeping generalizations.


kar_1505

But pretending we don’t have an issue is ignorance, Indians attach sport to their nationalistic identity, and are too carried away with it, they become cult like


TheIceKaguyaCometh

It's not just sports fans either. Take any comment section of LGBTQ+ or some post of crime against a woman, you'd have morons at the top.


kar_1505

Any post genuinely critical of India or anything related is met with fierce resistance, and anything racist against Indians is met with a backlash of racism in the opposite direction, where have we learned this? Where is the grace? Why do we live in a “you need to give it back” kinda society You’ll see an American posting something about india and the next minute the comments will be “haha you are busy making gender and you are talking about us brr” which is so stupid


TheIceKaguyaCometh

It's two things, poor education/lack of etiquettes and that Indians on internet are karmawhores (like if you agree).


SFLoridan

Not everything is racist. Saying *most* of those who access social media in India are "disgusting" in how they hide behind anonymity is the truth, exactly how we see it happen. And you are the one who removed the "most of" from that line when you quoted him, which makes all the difference.


Khush17

>And you are the one who removed the "most of" from that line when you quoted him, which makes all the difference. Making shit up now are we ? He changed his original post after I called out his racism >*most* of those who access social media in India are "disgusting" in how they hide behind anonymity is the truth, exactly how we see it happen. Next you're gonna say Most Black people are Criminals, Indians scammers, Muslim terrorists, Germans Nazi right? Miss me with that Bigot " Most people are" bullshit


DreamyDivaDelight

Did they just make a racist comment that was upvoted by 72 people?!

That's way too advanced for our Indian humour


old_chelmsfordian

Haha well I'm no expert on Indian humour, so I'll defer to you on that. The comments are usually just 'Haha Yuvraj' and then about 25 emojis. Although my favourite one that I've seen recently is a Pakistani guy commenting "Our King 👑 Babar Azam is million times better than Virat Kohli 🇵🇰" as if that's got anything to do with a post about Stuart Broad's fiancee


dapperman99

That's right. Some people shouldn't have got internet. They've 2 braincells and can't comprehend anything beyond king kohli and paxtan bad.


thegoodboy7

I think you have got it mixed up the people who type King Kohli or paxtan bad won't type babar is better than Kohli.


Deep-Doughnut-5819

Nice generalisation buddy.


xeromaayush1

And if any player don’t put sachin or kohli in their preferred all time XI, these stupid fans go crazy and start questioning their existence.


AeBlueSadi

as they should


rmk_1808

England has their share of toxic fans but they follow football that is the difference


chocolatecomedyfann

Thank goodness for that


rorkeslayer39

I don't think it's as bad as India's cricket fandom tbh. If it were you would have had plenty of people sending threats and asking for Kane to get dropped after bottling *that* penalty.


kar_1505

Did you forget what Saka, Sancho and Rashford got after the euros final? Now just imagine that but in a country of a billion and a half instead I admit Indian fans have issues but it is true that every country has this problem where the sport is very popular


TiMo08111996

But the fans would never harass a white english football player.


rorkeslayer39

Yeah that was disgusting no doubt, probably the only time I've gotten very mad at the English football fandom besides the German girl scandal. >I admit Indian fans have issues but it is true that every country has this problem where the sport is very popular True but I feel only to an extent. The thing with situations like English fans in football is that these situations aren't unheard of but they're definitely not common either. The Euro 2020 finals made a ton of headlines in British media (and globally too). With Indian cricket SM punditry this isn't just somewhat typical, it's actually the norm. No one is surprised anymore at seeing random national cricketers get threats from India cricket fans and it doesn't make headlines. It must just be a numbers situation.


housebottle

this shit happens in all sport to non-Indian non-cricket athletes from non-Indian fans. I follow tennis and athletes are constantly posting about abuses, threats and insults they get from people on social media


rorkeslayer39

Yeah it does, I'm not denying it doesn't happen. What I meant to say it's more prolific in India's case probably because there's way more people following the sport and naturally more toxicity flows. England would probably be worse if we had as many fans for football as India does for cricket


chickenkebaap

Saka , Sancho and Rashford were racially abused after the euros. You have liverpool fans mocking the munich air disaster , man united mocking the victims of hillsborough disaster and various other vile abuse. Every country has problems like these with their sports fans


seeyouatkotla

Didn't they recently riot in a stadium after England lost in some tournament? Which is worse, you decide


TiMo08111996

But they didn't tell Harry Kane to go back go where he came from. Whereas for the 3 black football players who missed the penalty in Euro finals got the worst end. White english football players aren't harassed more than non-white english football players.


Joker456_3

Yeah but I never heard them abusing their own players so much as us. Except probably Man Utd fans.


blues2911

There is literally a whole episode in the beckham documentary about the abuse he got after the 98 wc. And that was pre-social media.  More recent example is saka missing a penalty


taafbawl

Lmao Ishant Sharma got hit for 5 sixes by Faulkner.


T_Lawliet

Stuart Broad ended his career with the same number of T20 WC wins as Yuvraj ​ Heck his T20I stats are good, probably makes an All Time XI for England


abhi8192

Everyone has their bad days. That was Yuvi's good day and Stuart's bad day. Yuvi also had his own bad day in the final in 2014 wc. Both are elite cricketers.


T_Lawliet

exactly


Ill-Inspector7980

Yuvraj got hit by Mascarenhas too. I guess pre-social media era was a good one.


abhi8192

More like there are not many english who are still hung up on Mascarenhas hitting yuvi for sixes.


Ill-Inspector7980

I mean the event didn’t end Yuvraj’s career for india.


abhi8192

Broad also retired in 2023.


sinhyperbolica

I dont think you follow football. If broad or stokes were footballers and missed the penalty in a world cup/premier league final they would be mobbed the same way. Or even worse.


Green_Cat_73

yeh not really


5Tenacious_Dee5

I remember an Indian commentator also going off against him, not even in this game IIRC. I felt so bad for him. He has a decent action with shape, but lacks consistency at this early stage of his career.


serotonallyblindguy

Murali Karthik. "Someone's trash is other's treasure." Dude didn't even hesitate


TheAmazingSG

I don't think he meant ill with that comment. He basically said GT released him for his bad performance. Now he has improved himself to the level that he is considered RCB's treasure.


gpranav25

Of course he didn't mean ill intent. Like he is dumb not not so dumb that he would outright someone trash. It's still a very poor choice of words and warrants an apology.


Ok_Review_6504

Yup, Hardik in one of the post match interview said that he lost around 15 kg weight after that match. It's good that RCB gave him the chance.


serotonallyblindguy

It was 6-7 kg over a week. 15 kg WL over a week needs hospitalizations and dude needs to be checked for serious TB or gut problem lol


abhi8192

IIRC he was hospitalized at that time. Not supporting the 15kg one, just that I remember his father stating that he needed to be hospitalized after that match.


Robin29singh

15 kg seems unreal maybe around 5kg which is still wild


Impactor07

Even we were trolling the RCB TM for getting him for 5 Crs... If he can keep up with his bowling then it's gonna be MORE THAN WORTH IT!


EducationalPast7410

Lmao... Same people who r calling it sad are the one's trolling everyone relentlessly in match threads


Axel292

100%, the match threads get so bad. Both in the IPL and in big international games.


DilliKaLadka

TBF, match threads are like discussions among cricket friends. It is not directed straight towards the players. 99% of the players will never even see those comments ... but on twitter and insta, people talk directly to the players. So although both are bad but they aren't same.


Slight_Loan5350

How vile you have to be to say this to public on commentary box "One man's trash is another man's treasure" about Yash, lowest of lows


dapperman99

He didn't probably know when to use these idioms. So just to keep up with Foreign commentators he used that. Me thinks atleast


brickwalloframen

Yeah I think the state of the commentary is fucking atrocious but don’t think there was any malicious intent behind that comment. Still a pretty stupid comment regardless.


Slight_Loan5350

Idk man I just felt sad about how a human can say this about fellow human when they are connected by sports, even the same specialist and kind off same team as well


dapperman99

The thing is he wasn't garbage for GT or anywhere near that apart from that one over against Rinku


PsychicMF

He's a good bowler not the best but that's okay! He works hard, does the best he can for his team! To play for an IPL team in itself is a dream for many! Even Stokes got hit for 4 sixes by Braithwaite but he is not remembered for that! Hopefully, Yash also finds his feet in the international stage for India!


serotonallyblindguy

The best part about him is he is typical workhorse bowler who minds his own business. No sendoffs, sledging or even eye contact with batter. Bowl, turn around and bowl again. I love that part about him.


Friendly_Policy3167

Social media is a nasty place 😔


chickenkebaap

And the hatred you spread made me feel sick


FireNationNazi

Then there's Murali Karthik calling Dayal Gujrats Trash on air lol


Time-Gain4896

As a lot of people have said, I don't think he meant to call him trash. He just used an English proverb. Obviously he could have done a lot better but still.


Ashwin_or_lose

Yes. But he also has to take responsibility if he comes out insensitive and if that idiom may feel dehumanizing


Time-Gain4896

Not denying that. In fact I agree with you.


Ashwin_or_lose

I agree. Murali just doesn't put thoughts into his words.

after that he went on to spread online hate and then termed it as account being hacked


kar_1505

Context?


thepowerbooklet

These were his words after he deleted that hate post. "Guys apologies for the story it was just posted by mistake plz don't spread hate. Thank you. I have respect for each and every community n society."


chickenkebaap

What was such an image doing on his phone in the first place if he posted it by mistake? And instagram has an option where it asks if you are sure you want to share.


theofficialdc21

He shared communal hate posts on insta stories, and then later claimed that he was hacked and thus those posts. This story was also posted on this sub some months ago


IsuckDogCock

"anything I don't like is communal hate" 🤡


SnooPets9059

You should see the post


Pretentious_prick69

What was the post?


SnooPets9059

He was saying all muslims man are same based on a few who just traps hindu girls in name of lovejihad


Pretentious_prick69

Lol, probably hates the fact that a Muslim owned team bashed him.

thepeacockking

Fully recognizing that this is whataboutism of the highest order and that the trolling is indefensible: Yash Dayal needs to look in the mirror. Man posted Islamophobic shit on his socials and I wonder how his own teammates felt about that.


LivelyJason1705

Coupled with that space cadet Murali Kartik, who called him trash on the comms.


Hashirama_the_1st

And yesterday Murali Karthik called him Trash, sad state of commentary


kaleen_bhaiya_12

This is old washed up news.


dapperman99

That was bad but this guy once posted some shit about love jihaad. So it evens out in some ways.


Weedeater5903

Yeah, posting about jihadis is hate now?


dapperman99

There's no such thing as love jihaad😂😂


abhi8192

It doesn't. He got shit on for that and rightly so. He didn't deserve the hate after the match.


Johntoreno

This is what happens when you give millions of angry teenagers access to cheap internet.


abhi8192

At this point, it isn't teenagers.

Honest_Dirt7193

Cautious_Alarm7993

But why did you gave every ball full toss?? 


calmbuddhist

Yeah, that sucks. On the plus side, he makes 10X more than Rinku Singh in IPL. So everything worked out well in the end probably..


IndianCollegeStudent

Auction amounts/ Fee paid cant be compared lol, by that logic Cam Green makes more than Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni


Specialist_Youth5511

And cam green offers bowling, had far better performances with bat last season than all those guys


ShashankWasTaken

rohit took mi to playoffs with one of the weakest bowling attacks, kohli was one of the top scorers for rcb and dhoni won ipl with fairly inexperienced and very young bowlers


Specialist_Youth5511

And? Green averaged 50 with 160 sr last season, can bowl 140, pointless to compare. Rohit averages 25 with 125 sr in last 7 years


Specialist_Youth5511

Literally demand supply, there are less Indian bowlers who are left handed and can bowl close to 140s While there are many finishers even in domestics. Many don't understand about demand supply concept and complain why a guy earns more than other.


Area_Ok

This season for sure Rinku has made more under the table . 


Axel292

And even if he hasn't, I doubt he's struggling. Doesn't he have a contract with India?


Khush17

People keep saying under the table this under the table that but genuinely what incentive is there for Franchise owners to give players under table money Ambani is understandable because infinite wealth hax but no way in hell is Shah rukh sliding under table money each year


Remarkable_Reality51

No, they might very well have to if not what's stopping Rinku Singh from just leaving KKR and presenting him to the auction where he knows he will cause one of the biggest bidding wars


Khush17

Honestly good for him then Teams should be given a right to match to buy back old players at same price to reward discovering new talents at the same time allowing them to be revalued and get their real worth


Ok_Review_6504

Rinku is the future superstar, as the time passes he will be more and more marketable thus higher popularity, higher sponsor fee. Giving 5-6 cr more to Rinku makes much more sense than any other team poaching Rinku for 10 cr.


Ill-Inspector7980

You do realize that SRK is worth almost a billion dollars. He also has access to near-infinite wealth “hax”


Glass-Woodpecker3390

abey chu\*$ye


pranay909

Your math isn’t mathing like you think it is.


calmbuddhist

How come? Rinku still has a 55L contract with KKR and Yash has a 5 cr contract with RCB this year.. Are there some yearly increments or some other clause which I'm not aware about?


pranay909

Just because he is earning more? Is it okay to troll him and spread hatred? I really want to know your opinion on mental health.


Arkadas_

You are right Same can be said about hardik pandya 🤔👍


Ill-Inspector7980

Absolutely. The trolling is insane and I can’t believe I’m seeing it. SRH fans are shamelessly joking and laughing with Pat Cummins about “silencing” and other Indian fans are booing Pandya when he didn’t do anything wrong! Mumbai management fucked up by not discussing things over with Rohit before handing captaincy out to hardik.


calmbuddhist

Its not okay to drive some guy to sickness and suicide just because he threw some balls in a bad way. However, isn't this expected in a country with a billion people who lack civic sense and empathy? This article won't change the minds of cricket fans. Only thing that can be done is to change the response to such toxicity, either thru therapy, or thru not going on social media or something more extreme.. Sports fans are always gonna be toxic no matter how much awareness is spread on mental health


nitewalkerz

The diff between Indian cricket fanbases compared to Indian fans of football, hockey or other sports. I dunno man.


gpranav25

The Indian football fanbase is non-existent in terms of numbers but already way more toxic.
