Dhoni posted a video on Wednesday of himself driving a tractor at his farmhouse in an attempt to plough the field. It was the first time MS Dhoni had posted anything on Instagram since announcing his retirement from international cricket in 2020.
Indian fans, irritated by Australia’s complaints about the pitches and conditions, interpreted Dhoni’s post as a subtle dig at the Australians.
Few said Dhoni, the finisher, finished off the Australians, while others said Dhoni was trying to doctor his farm without fear of repercussions from the Australians.
If there was any doubt in Australians’ minds about unfair pitches, Dhoni has surely put them to rest with this post without saying a word. Despite the fact that MS Dhoni rarely posts on social media, the engagement on his posts gives an indication of how much his fans adore him.
In less than 20 hours, his post received over 33 lakh likes. Even if they are unrelated to cricket, fans would like to see regular updates from MS Dhoni.
