Kolkata Knight Riders wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik stated that people don’t realise the “gravity” of what they write on social media.
Karthik said this in a video posted by the franchise on Twitter on Tuesday.
“I feel sometimes that social media needs to be a kinder place. I think people don’t realise the gravity of what they say, be it memes, videos or just the use of words. It’s a spur of moment thing for them, instinctively what they feel they just put out there,” said the wicket-keeper batter.
After KKR trashed RCB in Eliminator of IPL 2021, fans abused all-rounder Daniel Christian and his partner Jorgia Dunn following the poor show by the all-rounder in the knockout game.
KKR came in support of RCB players and tweeted, “Say NO to hate-mongering. Cricketers are subjected to online abuse way too often. It’s high time we take a strong stand against it. Victories and Losses are a part of any sport. We stand by you @RCBTweets@danchristian54 @Gmaxi_3. We’ve been there too.”
