After Kohli spat
\nhyderabad
\nTravis Head and his wife Jessica have been subjected to a barrage of online abuse after the Australian cricketer was embroiled in a spat with India great Virat Kohli during an IPL match.
\nThe players clashed during the T20 match between Head\u2019s Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kohli\u2019s Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday.
\nHeated words were exchanged between the two before Kohli was dismissed for 15 and his team slumped to a 55-run defeat.
\nAs the two sets of players lined up for the post-game handshakes, Kohli ignored Head\u2019s outstretched arm but shook hands with the other players.
\nThe Instagram accounts for Head and Jessica have since been flooded with abusive comments, apparently from fans of the former India captain.
\nJessica told The Advertiser newspaper that her friends and family had also received hateful private messages.
\n\u201cI woke up to my socials blasting\u2026 we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family,\u201d she said Monday, according to the reports.
\n\u201cPassion will always be part of sport, but so is remembering there are real people and families behind the game.
\n\u201cHopefully this encourages more kindness, and support for one another.\u201d
\nShe also said it felt like \u201ca repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup\u201d, referring to the 2023 50-over tournament when Australia beat hosts India in the final in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
