    Reportedly, the teenager confessed to have posted the threat message following an Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Dhoni-led CSK and KKR. In fact, many trolls have posted abuses and threats directed at Dhoni and his teammates, after his side failed to impress in the ongoing tournament.

    Sports stars, politicians expressed disgust at the incident

    The abuses and threats against Dhoni and his family have been criticized by many within the sports fraternity and even political leaders. Players' failure to perform "does not give anyone authority to give a threat to a young child (sic)," said former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan. MP Priyanka Chaturvedi called it "the most disgusting example of how social media platforms are being misused."
