In the age of social media, online trolling has become widespread, with public personalities frequently being easy targets. Irfan Pathan, a former all-rounder for India, remembered how he dealt with abuse and false information. According to a Pakistani journalist, Babar Azam declined to be interviewed by Pathan during the 2023 ODI World Cup. Later on, the assertion proved to be false. “The trolling and fake attribution happen every day,” Pathan said on JioHotstar.
