Social media has turned out to be a mediator for the celebrities and the cricketers to connect with their fans and vice-versa. But a coin always has two sides. Social media also brings some disadvantages with it and it is the amount of hate people spread. The comments section of the celebrities and cricketers is sometimes filled with a lot of abuse. Most of the times, the so-called fans also drag their families into it.
This time around the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni isn’t spared either. The team has won only two matches out of six they’ve played and moreover, Dhoni is yet to light up the tournament with his batting and the fans aren’t happy it seems. MS Dhoni is at the receiving end of a lot of hate comments on social media, especially Instagram, at the moment. Rather some of the users also gave rape threats to his five-year-old daughter as well which has left many in shock now.
The comments are flooding on MS Dhoni’s retirement announcement post on Instagram. The legendary player called it a day from international cricket on August 15 this year and all this criticism and especially, the rape threats to his daughter is absolutely uncalled for.

MS Dhoni hasn’t had a great time in the ongoing IPL so far with the bat. His batting number was the talking point earlier. But even after walking out to bat at four against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the CSK skipper couldn’t do much getting out on 11 off 12 deliveries. He has so far scored only 102 runs in five innings with the best score of 47*.
But netizens are furious over this and addressed this issue. They started commenting as soon as screenshots went viral. Here are some tweets:
