'Hadd hoti h chaaplusi ki bhi' - Fans troll Gujarat player as he compares Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni

Gujarat under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya will face MS Dhoni’s Chennai in the tournament opener of the Indian T20 League 2023. Notably, Gujarat were the new entrants in the tournament last year in 2022 and they went on to lift the title in their debut season.

Meanwhile, Gujarat’s star bowler Sai Kishore has fallen on the receiving end of some trolls on the micro-blogging site Twitter. It all happened just after his recent statement on a comparison of Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya and Chennai skipper or former legendary Indian skipper, MS Dhoni.

"Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni are pretty similar in the way they handle things, they both are pretty calm,” said Sai Kishore ahead of the tournament.

Although, this comparison between Hardik and Dhoni didn’t go down well with a lot of Indian cricket fans who adore MS Dhoni for his captaincy skills. They immediately took to Twitter and trolled Sai Kishore for his statement; fans also trolled star Indian all-rounder and Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Lmao please respect Dhoni 😭😭

Ultimate disrespect to Dhoni. One just won an IPL the other one apart from winning the IPL multiple times won every single ICC trophy for India which we now see is how difficult it is since Dhoni retired.
