Hyderabad:Actor-producer Anushka Sharma is yet again facing the wrath of social media after India broke the record of lowest Test totals and returned to the pavilion scoring 36. Though trolling Anushka after the team's poor performance has become a norm the timing for hate couldn't be more wrong as the actor is expecting her first child with skipper Virat Kohli.
India's lowest Test innings total of 36 on Saturday at the Adelaide Oval against Australia is being attributed to Anushka. The actor is trending on Twitter and so are cricketers Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. These three have become a soft target for trollers who vent their frustration on them after the massive loss on the ground.

From meme to sarcastic one-liners, netizens are having a field day after men in jersey failed miserably on Saturday. Twitter is buzzing with hate comments for the Paatal Lok maker while many are also slamming Virat for taking a paternity leave since the former captains of the team put national duty as players above the needs of the families.
While trolls in number are huge but there is also a section of the microblogging site which is raising voice over this absurd phenomenon of trolling Anushka for the team's poor performance. Some tweeple are also questioning the rationale behind attributing the team's failure to Pari actor and said that such trends only underline the fact that India loves cricket but does not understand the game enough.
Anushka is expected to deliver her child in January next year. The couple had shared the happy news in August on social media, writing: "And then, we were three! Arriving Jan 2021."
