One fan, surprised by the oversight, asked, “Do you know a cricketer named M S DHONI?” To this, the company cheekily replied, “not heard of them.” This response did not sit well with MS Dhoni’s fans, who quickly flooded the comments with backlash.

One fan retorted, “It’s not them, btw I can understand as you can’t afford him.” Another enthusiast chimed in, “That’s the main reason, why only temporary Wk are using Gray Nicolls.” The backlash highlighted the deep admiration and respect fans have for Dhoni’s illustrious career and impeccable wicketkeeping skills.
MS Dhoni, known as “Captain Cool,” is not only a legendary captain and batsman but also one of the best wicketkeepers cricket has ever seen. His lightning-fast stumpings and incredible reflexes behind the stumps have left fans and players alike in awe.
One of Dhoni’s most impressive skills is his ability to execute stumpings in the blink of an eye. Batsmen barely have time to react before Dhoni has whipped off the bails. His quick thinking and agility are second to none, and he’s made stumpings look ridiculously easy.
Dhoni’s calm attitude behind the stumps helps his bowlers stay focused and confident. He’s always got a smile on his face, no matter how tense the situation, and his teammates draw from his calmness. Dhoni’s wicketkeeping skills are a perfect blend of speed, precision, and cricketing intelligence, solidifying his place as one of the greatest keepers in the history of the game.
