In fact, it’s been more than five years since the Ranchi-born skipper relinquished India’s captaincy and chose Virat Kohli as his replacement, but people still blame him for ruining the careers of talented players like Irfan Pathan.
Different people attribute his career’s demise to various factors. Some blame Dhoni for unfair treatment, while others blame injuries for his poor performance.
One fan in the former category recently took to Twitter to ‘curse’ Dhoni after seeing the former speedster participate in various leagues, including Legends League Cricket, for retired cricketers at the relatively young age of 37.
People may blame Pathan’s career on the former captain, but the truth is that when he was left out of the team, he was nowhere near his prime.
