Shameful: Trolls target R Ashwin's wife and kids after controversial Mankad dismissal

First she tweeted after getting bombarded with many hateful messages. 

There are rules. And cameras. Now stop spamming my mentions and do it on Ashwin’s timeline. Also, Awwwwww Ankit .

Later she praised Instagram for being a relatively saner medium. Unfortunately, the joy was short lived.  

This is why Instagram is so much nicer than Twitter . Folks only ask about important things like my non existent skin care routine or my lipstick shade or what my kids had for dinner.

Even in the first, trolls have targeted Prithi Ashwin for 'errors' of ommissions and commissions done by her husband, R Ashwin. Once during a famous test against West Indies, where Ashwin's controversial strategy while batting faced criticism, Prithi too faced the heat. 

 Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin has no regrets in 'Mankading' a set Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler, saying these sort of moments are game-changers and a batsman "need to be wary of it" before leaving the crease early.
Ashwin sparked off a big controversy on Monday when he mankaded Buttler, the first to be dismissed in such a manner in the history of the Indian Premier League.

A desperate Ashwin did the unthinkable when he mankaded Buttler in controversial circumstances in the 13th over with the batsman going strong at 69 off 43 balls. The dismissal is sure to raise fresh debate over the spirit of the game as the off-spinner didn't give the Englishman a prior warning. 

But Ashwin said he was completely within his rights to execute such a dismissal, which completely turned the match in Kings XI's favour.

"No real argument on that and it was pretty instinctive. I didn't even load and he just left the crease. We ended on the right side of the coin, but I definitely think that those are game-changing moments and batsmen need to be wary of it," Ashwin said after Kings XI beat Rajasthan by 14 runs.
