The International Cricket Council (ICC) Twitter handle is proving to be the best source of entertainment these days. Especially when it comes to MS Dhoni as their love for the wicket-keeper batsman is overwhelming.
The love was seen a few days ago when Yoko Ono had tweeted asking, “Give us some advice that will make our lives heal and shine.”
ICC were prompt to reply saying “Never leave your crease with MS Dhoni behind the stumps!”
Even today at the 3rd T20I between India and New Zealand at Hamilton, ICC made a series of tweets giving John Lennon’s famous song 'Imagine' a cricketing twist. Lennon, one of the legendary Beatles, was the husband of Yoko Ono. His 'Imagine' considered one of the greatest song ever written.
The first tweet posted by them read, “Our MS take on “Imagine” (with apologies to Yoko Ono and the Fab Five)…” But this may have been deleted by ICC.
So here presenting the series of tweets, its best to read and sing along:

Dhoni effected a quick stumping to send back Tim Siefert to get the breakthrough for India in the match. The stumping was a very close call and a little doubtful but, with Dhoni its sure it was a wicket. He is said to have done the stumping in 0.099 seconds.
