Even in 2023, the unfortunate truth remains: celebrities and public figures remain prime targets for internet trolls, revealing a disappointing lack of progress in fostering a more inclusive and positive online environment.
In an era where social media plays an increasingly prominent role in our lives, celebrities and public figures, particularly Indian cricketers, have become constant targets of vicious trolling and attacks online.

The relentless onslaught of negativity and hostility they face raises significant concerns about their privacy.
Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan celebrated the arrival of their baby boy and the Indian pacemaker shared the joyous news through a social media post. Congratulations have poured in for the couple since the announcement and they have chosen to name their son Angad Jasprit Bumrah.

“Our little family has grown and our hearts are fuller than we could ever imagine! This morning we welcomed our little boy, Angad Jasprit Bumrah, into the world. We are thrilled and can’t wait for this whole new chapter of our life brings with it: Jasprit and Sanjana”, the Indian cricketer wrote on social media platforms.

Amid the avalanche of congratulatory messages directed at Jasprit and Sanjana, a specific segment of social media is expressing their displeasure with Jasprit’s decision to skip the Asia Cup 2023 due to the birth of his newborn.
Fans, who were eagerly anticipating the fast bowler’s on-field prowess, expressed their anger over his decision to prioritize his family over the match.
One fan drew a parallel between Jasprit Bumrah and MS Dhoni, highlighting that Dhoni chose to stay with the team during the birth of his first child, Ziva, during the 2015 World Cup, in contrast to Bumrah’s choice.
When ziva was born in 2015 during the World Cup, MS Dhoni said, “I am on national duty, I will not come back and leave my team in the middle.” Today, Bumrah immediately left in the middle of the Asia Cup for the birth of her child. I guess that kind of commitment doesn’t exist anymore. pic.twitter.com/foTF4JjX2t

Many fans strongly supported the couple and stressed the importance of respecting both choices.
Thank god it no longer exists. Always prioritize your family over everyone and over everything. https://t.co/8FUwS0Vo2b

Playing cricket is not a national duty. Sport is entertainment. Bumrah clearly has good senses. https://t.co/zxVrShTeAa

I’m a great Dhoni Stan for a long time, but I really need to stop shaming jocks for putting family first. It is a message that NEEDS to be sent. https://t.co/m0Uv5Pt2FY

Stop treating athletes like soldiers whose unavailability would result in death. When athletes like Bumrah retire from sports, it will be the same family members who will be around them, not trolls like him. Good on Bumrah for choosing his family over his career. https://t.co/YqsrR2NiJv

Of course, Dhoni missed Ziva’s birth. That was the World Cup! Those who threw rocks at his house in 2013 are most likely among the likes of this tweet. I’m pretty sure he was ensuring a safe home for his newborn. https://t.co/qmnqQag87B

Cricket is just a sport and romanticizing it as a “national duty” does it no good. Bumrah made the right decision. https://t.co/kerTbE9zmk

It is not surprising that these men worship characters who abandon their wives, in religious mythology, in politics and now in sports. https://t.co/K2SMi9n2qB

In 2023, the ongoing debate about why a ‘father’ should take a break from his ‘job’ to be present at the birth of his child is a discussion that should have evolved by now.

It’s a clear sign that these ‘freaks’ need to mature and take a more inclusive perspective.
