5 instances when fans went against Indian cricketers on social media for silliest of reasons

#3 Harbhajan Singh getting attacked for his birthday tweet

Fans thought that the 36-year-old was being insensitive and disrespectful to Dhoni

Harbhajan Singh is regarded as one of India’s finest spinners who has the ability to demolish any batting line-up easily. He has been out of the team for a while now and is trying hard to make a comeback. He, however, is very active on the social media in interacting with his fans and connecting with fellow cricketers.

He recently wished the current Indian test team wicket keeper Wridhiman Saha on his birthday and remarked him as the best wicket keeper in the world.

He was obviously voicing his personal opinion and choice through his message. But this did not go well with the cricket fans, especially followers of Dhoni, who believed that the 36-year-old was being insensitive and disrespectful to Dhoni who, they believe, is the best wicket keeper in the world.

Happy birthday @Wriddhipops Best wicket keeper in the world.. have a good one.. god bless
