Southampton: Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni was once again at the receiving end from Twitter users after he played a rather slow knock against Afghanistan which India won by mere 11 runs in a nail-biter in Southampton. Fans on Twitter expressed their disappointment and lashed out at Dhoni for his terrible batting performance. "Undistinguished inning by Dhoni. Struggled against spin, but more importantly, even in rotating rotate strike," wrote cricket expert Ayaz Memon.

"MS Dhoni looks older than my grandmother who is close on 80. No offence," tweeted another user. "MS Dhoni dropped 'Ganguly' because he thought 'Ganguly' was aged and at that time' Ganguly was a far better batsman than Dhoni is for the last couple of years. Dhoni should retire immediately for the betterment of Indian cricket," said another user on the micro-blogging website. It was not the first time that Dhoni has been criticised for his slow batting. Last year, against England, he was even booed at Lord's during one of the games when India were chasing 323. Dhoni managed to score only 79 runs from 125 balls in two innings against England and was heavily criticised by the pundits as well.
