But as Dhoni said;
Indian fans, pls don’t abuse any Indian players just because they didn’t perform well last night. It was heartbreaking but not to forget it’s just a game & the winning streak was always supposed to end someday. So, calm down & keep cheering for #TeamIndia#INDvPAK #Shami #MSDhoni pic.twitter.com/SjD13oGSKx
