IPL 2024: Mayank Markande Turns Off Instagram Comments Mid-Innings After Dismissing Virat Kohli to Avoid Abusive Comments
Mayank Markande turned off the comment section of his instagram posts to avoid abusive comments.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad spinner, Mayank Markande, turned off his Instagram comment section midway through the match after dismissing RCB opener Virat Kohli. He did this to avoid abusive comments and slurs in the comment section.
Virat Kohli was on fire when he stepped up to chase down 288 runs, smashing 42 runs off just 20 balls before Mayank Markande bowled him out in the seventh over, giving SRH their first breakthrough.
Following that, the comment section on his Instagram was turned off. Fans speculated he took this step to prevent abusive comments, given the recurring pattern of abusive comments whenever Virat Kohli is dismissed.
Speaking of the game, RCB won the toss and chose to field, a decision that ultimately blew up in their faces. SRH put up a staggering 287 runs, their highest ever total, which RCB fell short of by 20 runs, despite Dinesh Karthik’s brilliant batting display.
