Yesterday, when India lost to England in the T20 World Cup semi-final, many hearts were shattered. People were upset, disappointed and heartbroken. In midst of the defeat, many blamed KL Rahul, the right-handed batsman who just made 5 runs in the match and returned back to pavilion in the second over.
Now, just because KL Rahul couldn’t perform in T20 World Cup semi-final, it is sad how some netizens trolled his alleged girlfriend Athiya Shetty miserably.

Why every time a cricketer doesn’t perform – be KL Rahul or Kohli – many assume it is okay to troll their partners for their poor performance? In the past, Anuskha Sharma, Natasa Stankovic and Dhanashree Verma have been the victims of shameless trolling. And, Athiya Shetty has become the new target of these trolls.
Shameless trolls made personal attacks!

First of all #BCCI should stop allowing Wives & GFs on Important Tours. Team Bonding should be encouraged Off Field too.
Ye Partners k sath Kona Pakad Lete hain. Not a Romantic or Family Trip.

In the midst of trolling, the media house Pinkvilla uploaded the picture of Athiya Shetty having dinner with KL Rahul among the other members of the cricket team. After the picture went viral, unfortunately, many angry fans brutally trolled the couple.

There were some who blamed the media house for instigating the angry fans:
As per many sources, Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul have been dating for quite some time now. And, as per the rumors, the couple is about to tie knot. However, neither of them have confirmed their wedding plans as of now.
