However, on Wikipedia's Champions Trophy 2017 page, the Indian team was met with huge hatred by an anonymous online entity.
Under the Group B scheduled matches, India was named 'Country Data India G***u in the match vs Pakistan. For India's match against Sri Lanka later, the team was named as 'Country Data India Di P** Di L**'.

It is unclear as to whether this was a serious glitch on the online encyclopedia page or if it was met by an anonymous Indian team hater.
Virat Kohli & Co are scheduled to lock horns with arch-rivals Pakistan on 4th June, play Sri Lanka on 8th June and finally South Africa on 11th June.
The Champions Trophy 2017 tournament will be held between 1-18 June in England and Wales.
