Many fans also took to Twitter and slammed those hurling abuse. “Just want to tell you we original virat fans absolute love and admire shubhman, sorry on behalf of some trolls who claim to be virat fan or rcbians,” a user wrote on Instagram.

Look at the tweets today for Shubhman Gill and his sister. Man this is why I hated when Kohli – Anushka pardoned that “IIT graduate” who gave rape threat to vamika. Some of these guys need to be behind bars and careers ruined. He should have been made an example to stop all this.
