Chennai Super Kings and legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni was in the headlines yesterday for his 32-run knock off just 17 balls with a boundary and two sixes to his name. Although he failed to finish the match for CSK in the last ball thriller but his name was in everyone’s discussions after the match for his amazing knocks despite the pain in the knee.
Apart from that, recently, the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has also grabbed the headlines among Indian cricket fans for his recent statement on MS Dhoni. The Bollywood veteran has said that the former World Cup champion Indian skipper is his favorite cricket player.
Subsequently, a section of Indian cricket fans immediately took to Twitter to react to Salman’s statement. Fans came up with a lot of interesting, humorous, and witty reactions following Khan’s praise for Dhoni.
Here’s how fans reacted:
