Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput shares a great camaraderie with former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. He has always been very vocal about his opinions on the legendary cricketer. Recently, the cricketer from Ranchi has been at the receiving end of congratulatory tweets after his heroics in an IPL fixture on Saturday. The fans have been overwhelmed by the stupendous show that their cricketing hero came up with recently.

Dhoni plundered a quickfire unbeaten 61 that guided Rising Pune Supergiant to their third win of the season. The wishes were bound to come by and they came from all corners. It is only pleasing to see how MS Dhoni answered all his critics with his willow. It wasn’t long ago when Dhoni was in the firing range of the critics and pundits of the game. Many players believed that things seemed to be on a dwindling note for MSD.

Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly went on to say that Dhoni is perhaps not the best choice in the T20 format of the game. He doubted the credibility of the wicket-keeper batsman in the shortest format of the game and had made some bold statements. While there were a few who backed the words of Ganguly, there were others who were absolutely miffed with the direct remarks.

Actor Sushant Singh Rajput is one of those who did not like the harsh comments made by Ganguly. The actor, who had played the titular role in the biopic of MS Dhoni, had recently taken to the social media site Twitter to back Dhoni with words of encouragement. He had written that the harsh comments are coming his way only due to the high standards that the player has set for himself.

He had tweeted, “The fact that Dhoni is so harshly scrutinised shows his class &the standard he has set. It’s a matter of time &not hope his bat will answer.”

Now, Sushant Singh Rajput found another chance to take a direct dig at Sourav Ganguly for the remarks that the latter had made. Dhoni played a superlative knock of the finisher in the game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the match 24 of IPL 10. SSR mocked the haters asking them where they are at the moment.

He tweeted, “”Dhoni is not a …. ” what did you say ?? Wonder where are the Experts now. Proud of you mahi!!”
