IPL 2018: Pakistani fans troll PSL anchor Zainab Abbas for praising MS Dhoni

It was MS Dhoni show at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. 36-year-old MS Dhoni had turned the clock back with his powerful hitting. He had a perfect partner at the other end in Ambati Rayudu who was taking the calculated risk while Dhoni opposite of what he has done in the past was going for the all-mighty-heaves from the word go.

Rayudu left Dhoni midway when Umesh Yadav’s throw hit the bullseye to find him short. However, MS Dhoni had to finish the game, he had missed one against Kings XI Punjab, it was not happening here at the Chinnaswamy. A massive 2011-Wankhede-like-six to win the match. The best finisher in the world proved yet again, that he still got everything it needs to finish the game, or maybe sink the opposition.

Dhoni gets praise from across the border, Pakistani fans troll Zainab for talking about IPL 

The Thalaivaa had won the Southern derby of the Indian Premier League. The fans on social media were going berserk. Fans across the world had nothing but praise for the former India skipper. Pakistan Super League (PSL) anchor Zainab Abbas too was hoping for MS Dhoni to finish the match. She took to Twitter where she suggested that Dhoni has an opportunity prove his mettle one more time when he hit one of the first sixes during his blistering innings.

The India-Pakistan rivalry is a known one. The political tension between the two countries has kept them at the bay for a long time. The fans of the countries often find themselves in the war of words defending their time. When MS Dhoni hit the winnings six, Zainab Abbas couldn’t stop but post another Tweet stating MS Dhoni has done it again.

Zainab’s Tweets:

A chance for @msdhoni to remind the world that he is still the best finisher in the world,what a hit!

However, the Tweet of Abbas didn’t go down well with the Pakistani fans who reminded Zainab of the fact that BCCI doesn’t invite the Pakistani players for the IPL and that India is trying to isolate Pakistan in every field.

The reaction of Pakistani fans:

Dear zainab you give your comments on IPL matches which is not bad as sports journalist but Indian sports journalist didn't give any comments on our own @thePSLt20 so I think it didn't good that you give comments as the policy of
Tit for tat
