A fan tweet praising MS Dhoni's contributions did not sit too well with Harbhajan Singh as he found the loopholes in it.

Surprisingly, for some reason, MS Dhoni, through not efforts of his own starts making news on Twitter each time the Indian cricket team fails to win an ICC trophy. Be it the T20 World Cup or now the World Test Championship final, Dhoni fans on Twitter constantly send reminders about what the great MSD achieved as captain. The only skipper to have won all three major ICC titles – the T20 World Cup, 50-over World Cup and the Champions Trophy, Dhoni's contributions to Indian cricket will always remain immoral, but to bring it up everytime after every tournament at times, gets a tad too much, even for MSD's former India teammates.
After India were handed a crushing 209-run defeat at the hands of Australia in the final of the World Test Championship – India's nine consecutive failure in an ICC event – a tweet praising Dhoni broke the internet. It said, "No coach, no mentor, young boys, most of the senior player's denied to take part. Never captained any single match before. This guy defeated prime Australia in semifinals and won a T20 World Cup in 48 days after becoming captain," referring to Dhoni's famous India win in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007, months after India went crashing out of the 50-over World Cup in the West Indies.
