Was MS Dhoni At Fault For RCB Handshake Fiasco? New Video Adds Fresh Twist
NDTV
Amid the MS Dhoni-RCB players handshake row, a fresh video has surfaced on social media, giving the story a new twist.
Chennai Super Kings' elimination from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 left a bitter taste in the mouths of fans as their dream of seeing MS Dhoni lifting the trophy at Chepauk remained unfulfilled. It isn't yet known whether Dhoni plans to play another season, and in that respect, Royal Challengers Bengaluru players were slammed by certain former cricketers and experts over their failure to do the customary handshake with MS Dhoni. Many suggested that RCB players 'over-celebrated' their playoffs progression, prompting Dhoni to return to the dressing room without shaking hands. But, a video, contradicting the same, has emerged on social media. I can understand he's pissed but every other player came to shake hands. Those players deserved to have that moment. When CSK won last year should they have gone around celebrating or gone to shake hands? https://t.co/MPXQ9zVOYo pic.twitter.com/TxKA2My6xD CSK batters haven't even crossed the 30 yard circle and their fans are saying Dhoni waited 3 minutes for RCB celebrations to end for handshakes. So much misinformation is being spread on a large scale pic.twitter.com/ke8Gb0BxkJ
A fan on social media claimed that Dhoni didn't wait much before deciding to return to the dressing room without shaking RCB players' hands, hitting out at those criticising the host team for 'over-celebrating'.
After the handshake row, RCB players were criticised by the likes of Harsha Bhogle and Michael Vaughan for not giving MS Dhoni the respect he deserved.
