World Cup-winning former India spinner Harbhajan Singh condemned the trolling of a few Australian players and their families by a section of fans of the sport after the World Cup 2023 final.

India lost to Australia by 6 wickets in a one-sided final as Pat Cummins's men went on to lift their 6th World Cup trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, November 21.

Harbhajan Singh took to social media to stress that "sanity and dignity" are important after a fantastic World Cup in India and urged the trolls to stop targeting the players and their families.

"Reports of trolling of family members of Australian cricket players is completely in bad taste. We played well but lost the final to better cricket by the Aussies. That's it. Why troll the players and their families? Requesting all cricket fans to stop such behaviour. Sanity and dignity are more important," Harbhajan Singh said in a social media post.

After the Cricket World Cup Final, Vini Raman, the wife of Australian cricketer Glenn Maxwell, found herself at the center of a social media storm. As Australia celebrated their triumph over India, Vini Raman faced a barrage of hateful and vile direct messages from a section of fans.
