In a heated exchange on social media, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh did not hold back when responding to a comparison between MS Dhoni and Mohammad Rizwan made by a Pakistani journalist. The journalist had suggested that Rizwan’s performance and leadership skills were on par with the legendary Indian captain Dhoni, sparking controversy and debate among cricket fans and experts.
Harbhajan, known for his outspoken nature, took to Twitter to express his disbelief and frustration at the comparison. He tweeted, “What are you smoking? There is no comparison between MS Dhoni and Mohammad Rizwan. Dhoni is a legend who has achieved so much for Indian cricket.”
The tweet quickly went viral, drawing support from fans who agreed with Harbhajan’s assessment and further fueling the debate. Many pointed out Dhoni’s unparalleled achievements, including leading India to victories in the T20 World Cup, the 50-over World Cup, and the Champions Trophy, while also being one of the most successful captains in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Rizwan, while highly regarded for his batting prowess and wicket-keeping skills, is still considered to be in the early stages of his career in comparison to Dhoni’s illustrious tenure. The discussion highlights the passionate opinions that cricket fans hold regarding their favorite players and the respect commanded by cricketing legends like MS Dhoni.
Harbhajan’s strong reaction underscores the reverence and admiration that Dhoni continues to receive from his peers and fans alike, cementing his status as one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the sport.
