Cricket is loved by everyone because of its spontaneity and unpredictability. With the advent of slam-bang format, the fans have become more passionate and now it is even reciprocated in the red ball cricket. The popularity of the game has grown exponentially and in the present day, even the audience are considered as experts. Technology has played a major role in bringing the game closer to the people.

Formerly the cricketers were reserved characters but nowadays they speak their mind on different issues. From the last decade, the players have connected with the fans on different platforms, and the most common one is social media. Most of the time it is used for showing their gratitude to the supporters, but sometimes they use it for a funny banter with their fellow cricketers. Generally, the fans understand the humour but there have been instances when a star has been criticized for his sarcasm.

Here are the five occasions when the cricketers were criticized for mocking their counterparts

The final of IPL 2019 was a memorable one for a lot of reasons, and one of them is MS Dhoni&#8217;s controversial run-out by Ishan Kishan. The decision by the umpire Nigel Llong was crucial, as it was an important phase of the game. After a lot of replays, MSD was sent back and immediately after the event the fans stood divided on their opinions. Various posts regarding it started surfacing in social media.

One such player who tried to sound his opinion was the New Zealand all-rounder <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/jimmy-neesham-deletes-his-tweet-on-ms-dhonis-controversial-run-out-in-the-ipl-final/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Neesham</a>. The Kiwi cricketer took to Twitter and in his message, he mocked the Chennai fans and their supreme leader Dhoni. In his post, he conveyed how he was surprised by the fans reaction as Thala was given the correct decision. Neesham was roasted by the supporters of MSD and was adviced to understand the optical illusion of an image.

He was trolled heavily for a couple of days, and in one tweet he was asked to behave like a grown up. Neesham deleted the post and justified the reason that he doesn&#8217;t want to see the same comments on a regular basis.

The Australian pacer, Mitchell Johnson has always been an animated character. He will be remembered as a player who is extremely competitive on the field, and never shies away from making bold statements. He is a fiery customer but he also loves fun which is visible from most of his posts in the social sites. A couple of years ago he was involved in a funny banter with the Kiwi pacer, Mitchell McClenaghan which accidentally made him a villain among the fans.

It all started with the New Zealander asking Johnson about his fitness and pace, and the Midge replied by suggesting a bowl off in order to find out the fastest left-arm pacer above the &#8217;30s. In the meantime, Dean Jones got involved and mockingly put his bet on <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/irregular-india-outings-have-hurt-umesh-yadavs-confidence-feels-ashish-nehra/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ashish Nehra</a>. Johnson continued the banter by replying about Nehra&#8217;s form and run up, and this wasn&#8217;t received well by the Indian fans.

The followers crucified the former Australian quickie for his line and lengths to which he replied by posting Nehra&#8217;s stats. The situation quickly escalated out of hands and what followed was tarnishing of both Aussies in the social media, as people even objectified his tattoos and bowling exploits in IPL.

He shredded Ashwin&#8217;s photo by using a shredder, and the video became trending in a few hours.

The speedster did a shameful thing and his followers questioned the need for such stunts. Indian fans compared his act with Ashwin&#8217;s mankading, and one of the fan posts read that he behaved unethically. Some people made him remember his past mistakes via sarcastic posts.

In 2015 the left-hander was hit with a ban due to drunk driving. A year ago Ben was the centre of attraction when he threw a beer at senior statesman James Anderson, and a couple of months ago his name was again a talking point in social media.

Australia toured India in March 2019 and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-taking-motivation-from-indian-army-ahead-of-world-cup-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli</a> was in blazing form. During this time a cricket-based twitter account, Cricket Shouts asked its followers to come up with various adjectives for the Indian captain. The tweet became trending when Ben Duckett replied with a message &#8220;A joke&#8221;. Without even trying to understand the perspective the Indian fans went into a frenzy.

Duckett was trolled ruthlessly and people started asking questions on his career. The Twitterati called him the joke of English cricket. His teammate Ben Stokes defended him, but he should have posted a message with a proper meaning instead of using ironic replies.

Mushfiqur Rahim is a fierce character and it is visible during his batting stays. Like every wicket-keeper, he is a lively player, but sometimes he has gone too far ahead with his aggression on the field. Rahim has a habit of showing his emotions in the front of the camera and in the past he has been criticized for it. When India lost to Windies in the 2016 T20 semi-final Rahim took a futile step.

As Bangla tigers lost a close tie in Bangalore against the hosts India the team was ousted from the tournament. The Indian team reached the semi-final, and there they lost to eventual champions Windies. Right after the tie, Rahim tweeted a post of being happy with the exit of India from the World Cup, and his message contained an image of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/riyan-parag-shares-his-experience-on-meeting-ms-dhoni-as-a-kid-and-as-opponents-during-the-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni&#8217;s</a> press conference.

At that time he was vilified for his actions by the entire cricketing fraternity, and the cricket lovers pronounced his reactions as ugly tactics. Some of the posts read that he lacked sportsmanship and was also called a little kid. Even though he apologized for the damage it was already beyond repair, and he lost respect among the Indian fans.

In this age of networking cricketers has to be smart and they don&#8217;t need to invite trolls for unnecessary activities as sometimes it can hamper their personal and professional life.

Australia toured India in March 2019 and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-taking-motivation-from-indian-army-ahead-of-world-cup-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli</a> was in blazing form. During this time a cricket-based twitter account, Cricket Shouts asked its followers to come up with various adjectives for the Indian captain. The tweet became trending when Ben Duckett replied with a message &#8220;A joke&#8221;. Without even trying to understand the perspective the Indian fans went into a frenzy.
Duckett was trolled ruthlessly and people started asking questions on his career. The Twitterati called him the joke of English cricket. His teammate Ben Stokes defended him, but he should have posted a message with a proper meaning instead of using ironic replies.

Mushfiqur Rahim is a fierce character and it is visible during his batting stays. Like every wicket-keeper, he is a lively player, but sometimes he has gone too far ahead with his aggression on the field. Rahim has a habit of showing his emotions in the front of the camera and in the past he has been criticized for it. When India lost to Windies in the 2016 T20 semi-final Rahim took a futile step.
As Bangla tigers lost a close tie in Bangalore against the hosts India the team was ousted from the tournament. The Indian team reached the semi-final, and there they lost to eventual champions Windies. Right after the tie, Rahim tweeted a post of being happy with the exit of India from the World Cup, and his message contained an image of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/riyan-parag-shares-his-experience-on-meeting-ms-dhoni-as-a-kid-and-as-opponents-during-the-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni&#8217;s</a> press conference.
At that time he was vilified for his actions by the entire cricketing fraternity, and the cricket lovers pronounced his reactions as ugly tactics. Some of the posts read that he lacked sportsmanship and was also called a little kid. Even though he apologized for the damage it was already beyond repair, and he lost respect among the Indian fans.
In this age of networking cricketers has to be smart and they don&#8217;t need to invite trolls for unnecessary activities as sometimes it can hamper their personal and professional life.
