Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh gave a strong reaction to a social media post from apparently an MS Dhoni fan. The fan, after India's loss in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, tweeted about how a young MS Dhoni led India to the inaugural T20 World Cup win in 2007.

Harbhajan quoted that tweet on Sunday and sarcastically explained why it was not just Dhoni but other players as well that helped India win the T20 World Cup. He also slammed the player worship culture in India and wrote:

"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 captain won 😂 it’s a team sports . Win together lose together"

Fans on Twitter didn't like how Harbhajan Singh reacted to the tweet and felt that there was no need for a decorated cricketer like him to respond to a fan account. Some also trolled Harbhajan and claimed that he was 'jealous' of MS Dhoni's achievements. Here are some of the reactions:

India's preparation was not upto the mark: Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh was blunt in his review of the WTC final in a video on his YouTube channel. He felt India went far behind in the game on Day 1 itself and a lot of that was down to lack of preparation.

He stated:

"India could not make much of an impact on Day 1 even though there was so much grass on the pitch. Yes, India did reduce Australia to 72/3, but after that, Travis Head's inning became a headache for India. Steve Smith also scored a hundred, but you expect him to score big. He is a proven match-winner, but Travis Head scored 163. I felt that India's preparation was not upto the mark."

Only time will tell whether the WTC final debacle will bring some major changes in the Indian Test team.
