MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the greatest cricket captains in history. In addition to his exceptional leadership skills, Dhoni's power-hitting abilities have earned him a legendary status among fans. Throughout his illustrious career, Dhoni guided India to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy.
At 43 years old, Dhoni remains one of the most popular cricketers in India, as evidenced by the overwhelming presence of Dhoni jerseys at the IPL 2024. When a Pakistani sports content creator posed the question of whether Dhoni was superior to Mohammad Rizwan, it sparked a strong reaction from former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh.
The sports content creator's query on social media asked followers to choose between MS Dhoni and Mohammad Rizwan, prompting a heated debate among fans. Singh, in particular, expressed his displeasure at the comparison, highlighting the immense respect and admiration Dhoni commands in the cricketing world.
Responding to the question, Harbhajan said, "What r u smoking nowadays ???? What a silly question to ask . Bhaiyo isko batao . DHONI bhut aage hai RIZWAN se Even if u will ask Rizwan he will give u an honest answer for this . I like Rizwan he is good player who always play with intent.. but this comparison is wrong. DHONI no 1 even today in world cricket . None better thn him behind stumps".
Dhoni has not retired from the IPL yet, having won the title with CSK five times. He passed on the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad before the IPL 2024 season, but he was still actively involved in setting up the fielding strategies during the matches.
