‘I faced lot of hate’: RCB star reveals how he was trolled whenever Gill hit a ton

Venkatesh Iyer recently discussed the harsh online abuse he endured from Kolkata Knight Riders supporters following his retention over Shubman Gill ahead of the 2022 Indian Premier League season. Speaking with Aakash Chopra, the left-hander noted that fans still flood club pages with criticism whenever Gill reaches a century.

After eventually being released by Kolkata and seeking a plea with Shah Rukh Khan, the batter joined Royal Challengers Bengaluru for eight crores and a successful title campaign, accumulating 209 runs across seven matches while adjusting to an intensely devoted new fanbase.
