Mayanti Langer shuts trolls

Stuart Binny in a T20I encounter against West Indies in 2016 ended up giving away 32 runs in an over, after which the cricketer faced heavy criticism. Such was the intense that his wife Mayanti had to intervene and released a video on Instagram extending her support to her husband.

“Dear Trollers,” Mayanti began, “I hope no one ever demands the death of your loved ones or sends you violent images threatening the same. Taunting me with suicide is shameful… I hope you find love and loyalty.
