MS Dhoni fans trolls Sachin Tendulkar for his remarks following Afghanistan clash

Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was trolled by MS Dhoni fans for his remarks over the former skipper coming back of the World Cup 2019 match against Afghanistan.

The master blaster was critical of Dhoni’s 28 runs of 52 balls innings, which according to Sachin slowed the run rate for India. Sachin also went on to say that Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav’s partnership was slow and lacked positivity.

Nevertheless MS Dhoni fans swiftly reacted to Sachin’s remarks and defended their idol. India somehow pulled off a win, though Afghanistan gave the men in blue a tough time till the last over.

"I felt slightly disappointed, it could have been much better. I was also not happy with the partnership between Kedar and Dhoni, it was very slow. We batted 34 overs of spin bowling and scored 119 runs. This was one area where we didn't look comfortable at all. There was no positive intent," Tendulkar was quoted as saying by India Today.

 

MS Dhoni fans didn’t take the remark so well as many started comparing the two cricketers. Intriguingly, some fans also went on to compare Sachin Tendukar and MS Dhoni’s biopic.

MS Dhoni has not been at his best at World Cup 2019. he has scored 28, 1, 27 and 34 in the tournament so far.

Dispite his unsatisfactory display with the bat, MS Dhoni’s ability behind the wickets and his capacity to read the game makes him further more valuable for Indian cricket team.

MS Dhoni, who is playing his fourth World Cup, has cumulated above 10,500 ODI runs at an average of 50.18. He also holds the highest score of an unbeaten 183 runs and has 10 centuries and 71 fifties to his name.
