After Team India faced their first defeat by England in the ongoing World Cup, most of Indian Cricket Lovers came down heavily on Dhoni and Kedhar Jadhav who failed to attack at the death overs when required run rate is above 10.
It is known that India lost by a margin of 31 runs because of the poor scoring rate in the first 10 overs and last 6 overs. Now, most the people who are criticizing Dhoni are Kohli and Rohit fans. They take a jibe on former Indian captain for not attacking as much as they should have in the last 6 overs though the asking rate was too high.
Fans of Dhoni shot back at the critics saying the Wicket Keeper-Batsman did quite well by scoring 42 of 31 balls at a strike rate of 135. In addition, They pointed out that Rohit Sharma scored 102 runs in 109 balls at a strike rate of 94 and Virat Kohli made 66 runs of 76 balls at a strike rate of 87.
Arguments between these two fan bases are filling the timelines on Twitter and each have their reasons and logic. But they need to know one thing for sure. Success and failure are common in any sport. Fans needn't have to be too critical about the performance of Team India. Indian players are as good as any of the Top Teams in the ongoing World Cup and none of them need to be criticized.
