Former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the most followed cricketers around the world, but England’s Barmy Army is definitely not part of those groups. In fact, on the former India skipper’s 41st birthday, the England fan group wished him in a very weird manner which triggered the Indian fans and they replied hard on social media.
Warm wishes had started pouring from all corners of the world when MS Dhoni was celebrating his 41st birthday on Thursday. However, England’s Barmy Army did something distasteful on social media on the special day, which irked a lot of Indian fans.ย
Taking on Twitter, England’s Barmy Army posted a picture of MS Dhoni walking towards the pavilion after a dismissal during an India’s fixture against England. They captioned the picture as “Happy Birthday MS, some amazing battles over the years.”

Predictably, thousands of ardent fans of MS Dhoni had no hesitation in giving a fitting reply as much as they could. Some of them quote-tweeted to post a historic moment when Dhoni leapt on joy after beating England in the Champions Trophy final back in 2013, and there are a few other impactful images as well.
