Anushka Sharma trends on Twitter as India loses Adelaide test

Actor Anushka Sharma is trending on Twitter after India lost the first Test against Australia at Adelaide. While a section of social media is blaming the actor for India's massive loss, others are questioning the rationale behind dragging Anushka every time the team performs poorly on the ground.

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.

• This is still one of the best Indian Test teams that I could remember. Yes, we had a really bad day in Adelaide today. Shit happens. But we will bounce back. Stronger and better💪.

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.
