Following yesterday’s World Cup match in Mumbai between India and Sri Lanka, a number of Indian fans have come under scrutiny and faced criticism for their inappropriate behavior towards Sri Lankan fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka. The abusive comments were made on Madushanka's Instagram page, targeting him despite his commendable performance in the match.

While the Sri Lankan team faced a resounding defeat against India, Madushanka's individual performance stood out as he managed to take the wickets of key Indian batters such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill. His five-wicket haul made him the leading wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in the match.

However, the victory did not deter some Indian fans from directing abusive comments and messages at Madushanka on his Instagram page. This behavior has drawn strong criticism from various quarters, including cricket enthusiasts and sportsmanship advocates, who consider it unacceptable to target players based on their performance.

The incident highlights the importance of respecting athletes, irrespective of the team they represent, and promoting a culture of sportsmanship in the cricketing community.
