Mithali Raj body-shamed: Robin Uthappa comes to women cricketer's rescue, slams Twitterrati
Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa took a hard stand for Indian women skipper Mithali Raj who was body shamed online trollers for her dress.
The captain of India's women cricket team was targeted on social networking site Twitter as people tried to school her on her dressing sense.

While some of the people praised the picture and liked it, there was a section which needlessly trolled Mithali claiming that her dress was indecent.

But, Uthappa took on Twitter to slam the trollers and condemned the reactions of people on Mithali's photos.
