TIL Desk Sports/ The legendary Sachin Tendulkar had made his displeasure known over M.S. Dhoni’s slow batting during India’s World Cup game against Afghanistan.
Tendulkar had said that the stumper should have shown more positive intent during his time at the crease. Dhoni took 52 balls to score 28 runs which had reduced India’s scoring rate in the middle overs.
Tendulkar’s views though haven’t gone down well with Dhoni’s ardent fans and they have taken to social media to make their disappointment known.
A fan on Twitter slammed Sachin saying: “Sachin Tendulkar, of the “95 to 100 in 20 balls regardless of the match situation” fame talks about Dhoni’s lack of intent. Wow, just wow !! Matlab hypocrisy ki hadh hain bhaiyya! (There is no limit of hypocrisy) (sic).”
Another ardent Dhoni fan hit back not only at Sachin, but also his son Arjun Tendulkar and said: “@msdhoni is the King of cricket!! Sachin played only for self and trying to fit in his looser son in team India now. Height of nepotism! (sic).”
