Former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MSD) is at the receiving end these days, with people questioning his batting skills.
The criticism and speculations regarding his future games arose following a poor show in the ODI series against England.
A day after Coach Ravi Shastri backed the wicketkeeper-batsman and quashed all rumours, stating that the Dhoni was not going anywhere.
But, now there is another incident regarding Dhoni that caught the eye of fans on Twitter.

The mistake quickly spread like fire on Twitter and became the butt of several jokes on the social media platform.
