#2 Shikhar Dhawan shuts Team India's trollers down

Shikhar Dhawan

With India losing yet another Test series in England, it isn't surprising to see that several fans came down hard on the No.1 ranked Test team in the world. But some took it one step further by commenting on a photo posted by Shikhar Dhawan on his official Instagram account but the Indian opener gave the perfect response to the trolls and keyboard warriors, who were quick to criticise both Dhawan and the Indian team.

It all began with a rather innocuous photo of himself, Cheteshwar Pujara, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant that Dhawan posted. The picture showed all four of them having some fun and sharing some laughs. The photo was seen widely as of how lightly the side is taking a series defeat, and that did not go well with the fans, as they started bashing the player and the rest of the side as well.

In response to all the criticism, Shikhar later wrote: “We cannot change the past. So we do our hard work at the ground as always and keep our process strong. After practice, it is important to laugh and be happy so we create positivity in the team. That’s what champions do. Easy to be happy when winning. Warriors stay positive when things are down too. Thanks to the fans who are still supporting us."
