Haven't we had enough of reading about jobless people judging celebrities on their mannerisms, clothes etc? Well, they sure are not bored of doing the exact same thing over and over again. This time, trolls targeted cricket captain, Mithali Raj.

Raj posted a throwback picture with her colleagues. The picture shows her wearing a noodle strap top and this became the centre of debate for many who called her out for her clothing.

“Mithali ji did not expect me to dress such a dress from you. At least you do not love your respect, you will finish the respect of your fanc.”

“Not Gud. Not expected this kind of pictures. Sorryyy,” tweeted a certain @chanduk2010.

Many others followed suit, asking her if she is a porn star. People who don’t have half the achievements as Raj’s at such a young age are judging her picture for her choice of clothes!

The picture that the cricketer posted on Tuesday has 776 retweets. It received over 1300 comments and 11,696 likes.

While there are so many negative comments, there is a larger pool of people fighting the good fight. Several people came forward in Raj's support.

@people with negative comments, Don't judge a lady with dressing sense, She is free to live in her own way. It's a worst narrow mentality.

Who the hell are the idiots? I just wish that the people in the photo don't have to become apologetic about this.

This isn’t the first time people are trolling Raj on social media. A few weeks back, the cricketer had uploaded a picture in which she had a sweat patch. A twitter user mocked it by commenting on it.

But Raj shot back at him saying, “I m where I m because I sweated it out on d field! I see no reason 2 b ashamed f it, when I'm on d ground inaugurating a cricket academy.”

Now we don’t expect Raj to keep getting back at these trollers who know nothing better. Her army of fans are now fighting on her behalf to teach lessons of liberality to body shamers?

You are always pretty and inspiring women for india......... All-rounder mithali
