グレンフィリップスの印象的な捕獲の後、有毒なヴィラットファンのエレクトロニクス大手フィリップスのコーリアブサン

数時間前、グレン・フィリップスは300ºODIでVirat Kohliに別れを告げるために超人的な捕獲を取りました、そして、インドのスターファンはそのためにキウイに満足していました。

For many, fandom ruins their perception of players. As soon as their favourite player scores or takes a wicket, they become the ‘greatest player of all time.’ They’ll go even as far as abusing the player’s teammate. The success of their ‘favourite’ is the only one that matters. This is exactly what happened after Virat Kohli was dismissed in his 300th ODI, courtesy of a superhuman catch by Glenn Phillips.

The ongoing India vs. New Zealand match saw Phillips take the catch of the ICC Champions Trophy as he flew to his right to grab a one-handed stunner while being stationed at point. Social media was set ablaze by his effort from the Kiwi. The catch went viral; people were raving about it. Well, not all people.

The toxic side of Virat Kohli fandom exposed

Some of Kohli’s fans weren’t happy. What Glenn Phillips had done was unacceptable. So they took to social media. These so-called fans went to Instagram and started abusing him. “Kohli ko kyu out kiya (Why did you dismiss Kohli?)” one angry fan wrote. Another said, “Kohli tera baap hai (Kohli is your father).”

Absolutely despicable behaviour. However, what they failed to understand was they weren’t abusing Glenn Phillips’ on his Instagram account but rather ‘Philips,’ the electronics brand. Filled with so much hate and venom that they failed to realise what they were actually doing.
