MS Dhoni is a legend of the game, whenever he is playing, Twitter gets abuzz and trend the CSK skipper’s name. Whether it’s his strategies or his batting, he always becomes the centre of attraction during his team’s matches. The wicketkeeper-batsman again was the talk of the town but this time for a negative reason. MSD, who is known for his mighty hitting, played a rather slow knock during Chennai Super Kings IPL 2021 match against Delhi Capitals which didn’t impress the netizens.
CSK were struggling at 62/4 when Dhoni came to the crease. Although the situation demanded a patient knock at that time, Twitterati were left frustrated when the skipper continued to play the waiting game at the death overs.
Dhoni scored 18 off 27 balls and didn’t hit a single boundary during his innings.
Several fans even questioned why Dhoni was wasting deliveries when in-form players like Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo was still yet to come. Soon, ‘Dhoni’ started trending on Twitter and fans expressed their displeasure on the innings of the CSK skipper.
Here are some of the tweets:

How good is this strategy to knock it around for singles! Better to give away your wicket for #jadeja to come in! #Bravo #Dhoni #CSKvsDC #csk

@msdhoni @SPFleming7 @ChennaiIPL No sense of urgency or intent to score quick from Dhoni , we hate while you play test innings in T20 match . Not on Delhi , all other teams knew how to push CSK out of the tournament in coming matches . Dhoni at his best for wasting deliveries 🤦🏻♂️
