Controversy on social media as Harbhajan Singh criticizes sole crediting of ICC trophies to Dhoni
The Indian cricket team's recent loss against Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans on social media. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh took a subtle dig at a tweet that implied MS Dhoni single-handedly won the T20 World Cup. Singh emphasized that cricket is a team sport and that victories should be attributed to the collective efforts of all players.
The tweet in question read, "No coach, no mentor, young boys, most of the senior players denied to take part. never captained any single match before. This guy defeated prime Australia in the semifinals and won a T20 World Cup in 48 days after becoming captain," accompanied by an image of Dhoni. In response, Harbhajan Singh pointed out the irony of solely appreciating and recognizing the captain's role in India's victories, unlike nations such as Australia, which credit the entire team for their success. Singh criticized the prevalent culture of idolizing individual players and stressed that cricket is ultimately a team sport.
Singh's tweet garnered mixed reactions, with some criticizing his viewpoint, while others supported his stance. It is worth mentioning that many ardent MS Dhoni fans have often credited the ICC trophy victories under Dhoni's captaincy solely to Dhoni himself, further fueling the discussion around individual recognition versus the collective effort of the team.
The debate sparked by Harbhajan Singh's tweet highlights the ongoing discussions in Indian cricket circles regarding the importance of acknowledging the contributions of the entire team in achieving success. While captains play a vital role, it is essential to recognize the collective effort put forth by every player on the field.
As social media continues to buzz with opinions and counter-arguments, it remains to be seen how this conversation evolves within the cricketing community and among fans.
Yes when these matches were played this young boy was playing alone from india.. not the other 10 .. so alone he won the World Cup trophies .. irony when Australia or any other nation win the World Cup headlines says Australia or etc country won. But when indian wins it’s said… https://t.co/pFaxjkXkWV
