MS Dhoni's 5-year old daughter is receiving rape and death threats on social media due to his disappointing performance.

MS Dhoni's daughter has been receiving rape and death threats.

Sports have always been an effective and engaging platform to unite masses and communities. Cricket indeed is the most watched and pleasant game in India. But,the sole purpose of recreation and pleasure has now intrigued devils of misogyny and sexism, portraying family members of players in an unnecessary dark and humiliating light.

Social media is turning toxic and suffocating day by day. The latest event followed the match between KKR and CSK on Wednesday which gave rise to endless and pathetic trolling of former Indian Cricket team Captain MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav for their saddening performance which couldn't meet up to fans' expectations. It is comprehensible that fans may lash out if their ideal players fail to rule the field. But abusing and throwing up personal comments on players is not justified to any extent. This is not a way to tribute the incredible service of such an amazing and dedicated player.

This situation couldn't have turned more badly, when the 5-year old innocent daughter of CSK Captain was dragged in some atrocious and appalling statements made by people whom we can't term as fans or even human. Such distasteful trolling is evident in the recent past, when favorite teams of fans lose the match. But now this is taking over their children and minors who have nothing to do with the game. Such incidents are distasteful and against the ideals of sportsmanship and fandom. The obnoxious and offensive comments clearly indicated rape and physical violence threats to him and her daughter. Trolling is getting unfiltered and hurtful with the increase in such incidents.

It is really vile to witness that such people can stoop to another lower to every lowest. Still we haven't recovered from insanity happened in Hathras case and again we are on the same level. This ugly targeting of wives and girlfriends has now reached to daughters of nation like Ziva Dhoni. Such horrendous things are pushing the liberty and dignity of women down the carpet of patriarchy.

Netizens came to support MS Dhoni by posting screenshots of unsettling comments and bashed the cruelty dwelling in the minds of such sick people. People are completely disapproving of this kind of disheartening and traumatic trolling.
