Why is the backlash towards Kavya so selective?

Discussion

I get that buying Pakistani players can be controversial, and people are free to criticize it.

But why is Kavya specifically getting singled out for so much trolling? Other franchises in different leagues have also signed Pakistani players, yet they don’t get nearly the same backlash.

Just to be clear, I’m not defending her or the decision. I’m just questioning the apparent double standard. If the issue is the principle, shouldn’t the criticism be consistent across everyone?
