MS Dhoni is remembered as one of the best cricket players of all time, and his record as a leader and player is unmatched. Because of how well he led Team India, he became one of the best coaches in sports history. Putting Dhoni up against other players is almost like insulting the game itself, which shows how important and respected the 'CAPTAIN COOL ' is.

Harbhajan Singh humbles Pakistani journalist who compared MS Dhoni with a PAK player

MS Dhoni is widely considered to be one of the finest captains in the annals of cricket. In addition to his formidable leadership abilities, Dhoni's extraordinary power-hitting capabilities have earned him legendary status. Dhoni guided India to victories in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy throughout his tenure.

A Pakistani journalist recently sparked a significant amount of debate by drawing comparisons between Mohammad Rizwan and MS Dhoni. The 43-year-old Dhoni continues to be one of the most cherished cricketers in India, as evidenced by the numerous Dhoni jerseys that were observed during the 2024 IPL. Harbhajan Singh was particularly incensed by this comparison, and he expressed his strong disapproval of the attempt to equate Dhoni with Rizwan.

The journalist from Pakistan had questioned people on X, 

"MS Dhoni or Mohammad Rizwan? Who is better? Tell me honestly".

In response to the post, Harbhajan Singh spoke harsh words, 

"What r u smoking nowadays ???? What a silly question to ask . Bhaiyo isko batao . DHONI bhut aage hai RIZWAN se Even if u will ask Rizwan he will give u an honest answer for this . I like Rizwan he is good player who always play with intent.. but this comparison is wrong. DHONI no 1 even today in world cricket . None better thn him behind stumps".

Dhoni has not yet announced his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has successfully captained the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to win five championships. Prior to the 2024 season, he relinquished the leadership to Ruturaj Gaikwad, while being actively engaged in organising the pitch during matches. Last season, there was an incredible passion for Dhoni, with supporters displaying unshakable support for the renowned cricketer.
