Harbhajan Singh, who keeps a keen eye on the happenings around cricket, dwelled on a fan's post which came after India's overbearing loss in the WTC Final of 2023. The fan reflected on the past and brought out India's T20 World Cup win of 2007, which marked the start of MS Dhoni's reign at the helm. The user entirely credited Dhoni for India's glory, which Singh disapproved of.

Yes when these matches were played this young boy was playing alone from india.. not the other 10 .. so alone he won the World Cup trophies .. irony when Australia or any other nation win the World Cup headlines says Australia or etc country won. But when indian wins it’s said… https://t.co/pFaxjkXkWV

According to Singh, Dhoni did not win the trophy alone, as he had the camaraderie of 10 other men with him. He also shed light on the fact that cricket is a team game where the side wins together and loses together. Further, Singh paid heed to the disparity between India and other cricketing nations by expressing that in India captain is credited with a win, whereas in Australia and other nations, the entire team gets the acknowledgement.
