Gollum Posted May 25 Posted May 25 LINK Head and Kohli were involved in a heated verbal exchange during Kohli’s innings of 15 off 11 balls, although it remains unclear what sparked the altercation. Later, Kohli refused to shake hands with Head after the game. The Australian batter did stretch out his hand, but Kohli, after greeting Pat Cummins and Abhishek Sharma, walked past him without acknowledging the gesture. Following the incident, sections of social media targeted Head and his wife with abusive messages, many of them directed at their wedding photo from three years ago. While some dragged their family into the hate messages, others openly threatened Head and his loved ones. Speaking to Australian media outlet The Advertiser, Head’s wife, Jessica, issued a statement saying: “It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting... we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family." This is not the first time Jessica has been targeted online by Indian fans. Following the 2023 World Cup final and the World Test Championship final the same year — both won by Australia — she and her family reportedly received horrific messages, including threats of rape and kidnapping. A similar incident occurred after Australia beat India in the 2024 Boxing Day Test. “I think across all sports at the moment there’s an important conversation around mental health, perspective and the way we speak to one another. Passion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game. Hopefully this encourages more kindness and support for one another,” Jessica added. mishra, Lone Wolf and New guy 3
Gollum Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 Is duniya mein koi itna gyan nahi pelta jitna ki Kohli and Ansuhka. To see pin drop silence from them when these kind of things keep happening, quite clear that all such hate campaigns have the seal of approval from these two. nevada, Texan, Lord and 4 others 1 6

It will keep happening unless MeA/GoI finally acts. Nothing less than a public apology on the behalf of his fans should suffice. If he doesn't it should be end of his cricketing career in a Indian shirt and they should terminate his Central contracts. This should be taken with utmost seriously as Pak ISPR will also take advantage of such acts in future if we don't deal with it. Edited May 25 by Lone Wolf Gollum and Suhaan 2

Ultimate_Game Posted May 25 Posted May 25 (edited) Disgusting! Maybe King Kohli can post a message on social media reining his fans who threaten and go after his opponents. Aussie players had to go through it post 2023 WC, Gill and family endured the same abuse couple of years ago when Gill scored hundred against RCB, and literally every bowler who dismisses the "King" has faced the scenario. Maybe instead of pontificating about how to celebrate Diwali or how not to litter roads or how to lecture people on how to live their lives, he can actually do something useful and reign in his moronic fans. One social media post would help. Instead of visiting temples and portraying a "holier than thou" character, this would be a much more meaningful act.

zen Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Pathetic behaviour. Also add to this what the toxic fans did to Gill and his sister when Gill scored a 100, after Kohli had scored one, to knock RCB out of playoff in one of the earlier seasons. GoldenSun, Gollum and Ultimate_Game 3
AKane Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Never listen to Aus complaints. It is always same.... When Aus does it everyone should repeat - "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Lillee don't get you Thommo must". When Harold Larwood exposes Bradman's fear of genuine pace - "Ban that Larwood"... Govt threatens to break relations... etc pathetic. When some crowd targets Aussies then "oh look at that bad crowd". When Aus crowd physically targets John Snow - then that is ok Sissy hypocrites - man up and stop whining. velu 1

AKane Posted May 25 Posted May 25 (edited) https://www.theroar.com.au/2020/04/17/it-was-the-summer-of-1970/ "But England had John Snow. Snow was a ferocious pace bowler with the intent of a serial killer as he charged in. Snow captured 31 wickets at an average of 22.83 in the Tests. Skilled in bowling short, fast balls, during the Sydney Test he’d been cautioned for intimidatory bowling by umpire Lou Rowan." "Australian leg spinner Terry Jenner – later Shane Warne’s coach – ducked into a delivery that felled him. Three English players escorted him from the field as Snow took up his position on the boundary to field. There he was abused and pelted with cans and even meat pies. One spectator grabbed him, dragging him closer to the fence, and appeared to attempt to slap him. English captain Ray Illingworth then ordered his entire team from the field." OR Australian captain Bill Lawry’s opening partner was Keith Stackpole. On his way to a score of 207 in Brisbane, photographs showed he had been run out for 18. Later in the series Geoff Boycott was given out following a run-out and in disgust hurled his bat to the ground. No-one at that game is likely to forget the volume of booing that greeted Boycott that day. Basically they can dish it out but cannot take it.

nevada Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Kohli could have put out a statement urging fans to not use foul language. Sanju and Klassen had an on field spat too but both put an end to in classy fashion. Why can't Kohli do something similar, atleast for PR purposes? Gollum and Ultimate_Game 2

But totally different ballgame to go after a player's family and threaten them. How does threatening to r**e a player's sister, wife and daughter, or threatening to kill the player and family related to the examples you shared? Are you condoning such behavior? And its not Australian players "complaints". It's for everyone to see in plain sight. Trolling Head or going after him as a player is one thing, which is what your posts show, but what Kohli fans did here or after 2023 WC final or to Gill after Gill's knock a couple of years ago is totally different.

Has he ever done anything other than to increase his PR? He'll gift a bat to Pak players or laugh with them after a humiliating defeat but more than happy to keep a blind eye when his "fans" act the way they're doing right now. nevada 1

I said this in the other thread, all it takes is one social media message by Kohli, asking his fans not to do this. Not only will it stop his insane fans, it will also make his fans start attacking those who do this thing and stopping others. The fact that Kohli will not do it, is telling. Gollum and GoldenSun 2
