Amid the ongoing IPL season, players have been on the radar and the ever-watchful eyes of cricket fans are on them. However, many sportsmen also find themselves at the receiving end of criticism and trolls if they don't perform well or if their teams don't do well. Seeing players receiving hate on social media, actor Sonu Sood, who never shies away from sharing his opinions, took to X and urged all to respect players.

Without mentioning anyone's name, Sonu wrote, "We should respect our players. Players who made us proud, players who made our country proud. One day you cheer for them, next day you boo them. It's not they, it's us who fail. I love cricket. I love every cricketer who represents my country. Doesn't matter which franchise he plays for. Doesn't matter whether he plays as a Captain or he's the 15th man in a team. They are our Heroes"
