Cricketers are constantly in the public eye because of their celebrity status, especially in India, where the sport is treated no less than a religion.
Given that every little thing that a cricketer does – whether it be on the pitch or off it – captures the attention of media, keeping a private profile can become extremely difficult.
Not just that, but the ruthlessness with which media houses operate can sometimes cause a lot of harm to the reputation of a cricketer’s public image.
However, there have been several instances in the past where the cricketers’ wives stood up for their husbands and defended them publicly.
The Sporting News takes a look at five such instances.

Mayanti Langer gives stunning reply to defend Stuart Binny
Mayanti Langer, who is a prominent presenter in the cricketing fraternity, is also the wife of former India all-rounder Stuart Binny.
The duo had been subject to a lot of online trolling due to Binny’s inconsistent performances for the national team.
In February 2020, a fan replied under Langer’s post on X (formerly Twitter), saying “He (Binny) is helping her in carrying her baggage.”
Langer replied to this comment in a subtle but savage manner.
I can carry my own baggage thank you very much 😃 he’s busy living his life, playing cricket, just being awesome in general, and not passing comments on people he doesn’t know 😊

Sakshi Singh, MS Dhoni’s wife, slams journalists
It was widely reported that in the last week of March 2020, during the world’s deadliest COVID-19 outbreak, MS Dhoni gave Rs. 1 lakh through a Pune-based NGO to support the families of his employees in Pune.
The former Indian captain was ridiculed and insulted for donating such a small sum of money. Sakshi Singh, however, took to X to criticize what she perceived as careless reporting on that front and accused Indian media outlets of disseminating false information.
I request all media houses to stop carrying out false news at sensitive times like these ! Shame on You ! I wonder where responsible journalism has disappeared !
