As Chennai Super Kings was reduced to their maiden defeat in IPL 2020 with Rajasthan coming up trumps, thanks to an incredible showdown from Sanju Samson, Steven Smith and Jofra Archer with the bat, the fans were extremely displeased about MS Dhoni’s decision to hold himself until the number seven.
Wickets kept on falling at regular intervals for Chennai and Faf Du Plessis fought until the very end with minimal support from other batsmen. MS Dhoni walked in at number seven and when fans expected to see that blitzkrieg, it went worse for the former Indian captain as he had to wait until the 13th ball to free his arms and by that time, it was already too late to make any kind of amends.
Twitter was furious and expressed their agitation at the poor knock played by Dhoni. Here are the tope ten tweets that took a dig at Dhoni.
The first tweet read, “Yes MS Dhoni can hit those massive sixes but only he knows why he did not do that two overs ago”
Yes MS Dhoni can hit those massive sixes but only he knows why he did not do that two overs ago ?

Another fan tweeted, “MS Dhoni: Require run rate at arrival = 16.26 (103 needed off 38) Scores 9 off 12 balls till the 19th over. Not a single aggressive shot intended. Then, the situation gets to 38 needed off last over. Hits 3 sixes in a row in the last over. What logic?”
MS Dhoni:
Require run rate at arrival = 16.26 (103 needed off 38)
Scores 9 off 12 balls till the 19th over. Not a single aggressive shot intended.
Then, situation gets to 38 needed off last over.
Hits 3 sixes in a row in the last over.

A user of the micro-blogging site cited, “Surprised, MSD hasn’t yet come out to bat. If anybody could have won this game for Chennai from here, it had to be @msdhoni. What say?”

The trolling got much more evident as another tweet read, “Better sight”

The humour was always on as the next tweet read, “Post match pics of Ms dhoni meets with RR players”

A hater evidently seemed pretty happy as he tweeted, “tuk tuk singh should’ve ban for next 2 matches for appealing without taking clean catch best moment when csk lost tge mqtch”

The last tweet read, “If only @msdhoni had made those sixes in his initial bating @ChennaiIPL would have won the game… congrats @rajasthanroyals you’re victory is worth it”
