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

Myanmar quake: India sends more humanitarian aid in C-17 aircraft
New Delhi (PTI): India on Sunday sent 31 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including replenishment stores for an Indian army field hospital unit deployed in Myanmar, to augment New Delhi's efforts to provide succour to the quake-hit neighbouring country.
The aid was sent in a C-17 Globemaster heavy-lift aircraft.
It took off from the Hindon air force station in Ghaziabad early Sunday, a senior official said.
"#OperationBrahma@IAF_MCC C> C-17 plane departs for Mandalay with 31 tons of humanitarian aid, including replenishment stores for the Indian army field hospital unit," External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar posted on X and also shared a few photos.
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake jolted Myanmar last week, with the toll rising to over 3,000 even as rescuers continue to search through the rubble for signs of life.
India mounted its relief mission named 'Operation Brahma' as a swift response to the devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Myanmar as well as Thailand on March 28.
The field hospital, under 'Operation Brahma', continues its humanitarian mission in Myanmar as the local government and its agencies also soldiered on with their efforts in relief and rescue work.
The hospital unit comprising 118 personnel was deployed in Myanmar using two C-17 heavy-lift aircraft of the IAF which had taken off from Agra on March 29.
The field hospital has been set up by the Indian Army in Mandalay.
