Harbhajan Singh roasted by netizens for 'helping Shahid Afridi but mocking MS Dhoni'

The MS Dhoni led-Chennai side was at their dominant best when they comprehensively beat Hyderabad by 20 runs earlier this week at the Dubai International Stadium in Dream11 IPL 2020. Chennai fans rejoiced as the side scored winning points after riding on their clinical all-round performance. The match was poised for a close finish before Shardul Thakur and Dwayne Bravo tilted the momentum in Chennai's favour with sensational death bowling. A peculiar moment between MS Dhoni and on-field umpire Paul Reiffel regarding a wide decision sparked a  controversy.

During the penultimate over of the match, Shardul Thakur bowled a full delivery wide outside the off-stump, after which it seemed Paul Reiffel was about to signal it a wide delivery, only to change his mind after a protest from Shardul Thakur and MS Dhoni. While MS Dhoni received flak from a section of cricket fans, a lot of people also sided by the Chennai captain on this controversy and showered their support. Dream11 IPL veteran Harbhajan Singh, who had earlier announced his unavailability for Dream11 IPL 2020, also reacted on the situation.
