Vijay Shankar, a former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player, says he is subjected to heavy online trolling after an Lanka Premier League (LPL) match and that it affected him significantly. In his account, he describes the psychological toll of the trolling and characterizes it as a serious, career-threatening issue.
Shankar’s remarks come after an LPL game, with the trolling reportedly aimed at him following the result. While the reports focus on his personal experience, they do not provide additional details about the specific comments, the extent of investigations, or any direct action taken against the accounts involved. The coverage centers on how the incident impacts an athlete’s well-being rather than on any on-field controversy. The sources present his disclosure as a broader example of how social media harassment can affect professional sportspeople in the short and long term.
