After Travis Head and Virat Kohli's altercation, Travis' family started being trolled on social media

Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 55 runs in an IPL match, but the match will be remembered more for the incident that occurred during and after the match than the result. There was a heated exchange between Travis Head and Virat Kohli and it was not clear what started the dispute.

Another moment was caught on camera after the match ended when Kohli shook hands with other players but ignored Travis Head’s extended hand. As soon as this video went viral on social media, some trolls started targeting Travis Head and his wife Jessica. Their wedding photos were made with lewd and threatening comments that were highly objectionable.

The incident draws attention to the bigger issue of how quickly rivalry in cricket turns into online harassment and even innocent families of players become victims of it. Voices are now being raised on social media against the harassment of players and their families.
