MS Dhoni's expletives for Manish Pandey becomes the latest trending meme template

Former Indian captain and the current wicketkeeper-batsman of the Indian limited overs side, MS Dhoni, is revered as one of the calmest heads on the cricket field. However, during the second T20I against South Africa, he was seen hurling expletives at his batting partner Manish Pandey. Little did Dhoni know that his words to call Manish would end up becoming a viral trend on the social media.

The action perspired during the Indian innings of the second match of the ongoing 3-match T20I series. Manish Pandey was looking good with the bat and had resumed his bittersweet love story with the SuperSport Park, Centurion. It was the very same venue where he had hit an IPL century almost a decade ago. The match saw a rare case of an Indian top order collapse on the tour.

India were struggling at 90/4 when MS Dhoni walked in to join Manish Pandey at the crease in the 11th over of the game. The two batsmen steadied the ship. While Manish played the role of the aggressor early on in the innings, it was MS Dhoni who took charge in the later part of the game. During the final overs of the Indian innings, MS Dhoni was looking to steal a few singles here and there.

Hence, his expectation from his partner was quite obvious. He wanted Manish to be looking at him for signals in the end overs. Much to his disappointment, he found Manish Pandey looking elsewhere. Miffed by this, Dhoni apparently lost his calm and ended up hurling expletives at Manish. While it is still unclear as to what he said, many believe that the words he used were indeed the cuss words.

Video goes viral

The video of Dhoni abusing Manish went viral on the social media during the game itself. And now, a day after the game, the stills from the video continue to tickle the funny bones of the cricket fans. The video has become a base for the meme-makers. Several memes have flooded the social media sites on the very same Dhoni-Manish template. Even the popular media houses have not been shy away from making memes on the same.

Here are some of the best memes made on the Dhoni-Manish episode:
