As online abuse becomes the main form of venting, many worry about the toxicity cricketers face on social media.
Last week's match was extraordinary: Pakistan did not just beat India at a World Cup game after 29 years, they thrashed their arch rivals by 10 wickets in a clinical and emphatic manner.
While this was happening, news broke that several Kashmiri students were allegedly attacked in the northern state of Punjab for celebrating Pakistan's win. Since then, several other people - all Muslims - have been arrested, with some facing charges under a draconian anti-terror law for speaking, writing or sharing messages in support of Pakistan.
A cricket match between India and Pakistan continues to be one of sport's biggest draws and bitterest rivalries. India has dominated world cricket during this period and entered the tournament as clear favourites to lift the trophy. Even their record against Pakistan in ICC World Cup events has been phenomenal: until last Sunday, India had won all 11 World Cup matches against its neighbour.A cricket match between India and Pakistan is never an ordinary affair
