on a playoff spot by just one point, triggering renewed abuse across social media. The incident has once again highlighted how quickly online humour in sport can turn into targeted harassment, especially when results swing against a team or individual.

?The video that I had created earlier, you guys exaggerated it to extremes, when the motive of the reel was just a fun banter,? she said. ?I wasn?t trolling anyone, I had no bad intentions behind the banter. I wasn?t spreading hate against anyone. I respect every cricketer because my brother is a cricketer.?

She also spoke about the scale of harassment she has been facing online and offline, including abuse directed at her workplace and associates.

?I pity you guys,? she added. ?You have been calling my workplace, abusing me, my colleagues, my students and my family. Harassing them and calling at random times.?
