'Kyu respect kare hum to Ganguly batch ke players hai' - Fans lash out at Yuvraj Singh as he crops MS Dhoni's image in his throwback tweet

But, the recent throwback tweet posted by the 20-20 World Cup 2007 winner batter has left him on the receiving end of harsh criticism from the MS Dhoni fans. Yuvraj took to his Twitter to recall his knock of 150 runs against England in the second of the three-match ODI series against England. Notably, this match is also remembered in the history books for the unforgettable partnership of 256 runs between Yuvraj Singh and former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni.

But, in a shocking visual for the fans, Yuvraj Singh only posted the pictures of his century celebration and MS Dhoni was not there in either of the photos Yuvraj added in his tweet.

Here’s a look at the recent tweet posted by Yuvraj Singh

This act from Yuvraj Singh of presenting himself only didn’t go down well with the fans and they took no time to remind him about the DRS that Dhoni took to save the southpaw’s wicket.

The fans also slammed the 2011 World Cup’s player of the tournament for being selfish and self-obsessed.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Speaking of the Cuttack ODI between India and England, both teams played this match exactly four years ago on the 19th of January in 2019. The then-England skipper Eoin Morgan won the flip of the coin and asked the men in blue to bat first. The hosts’ top order failed miserably against the English bowling attack. But then came the partnership of 256 runs between Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni as the latter also played a brilliant knock of 134 runs off 122 balls with 10 boundaries and six sixes to his name. Riding on the vintage batting display from Yuvraj and Dhoni, India posted a total of 381 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 50 overs.

While chasing the target, the three lions also batted brilliantly but the century of 102 runs from skipper Eoin Morgan went in vain as England could score only 366 runs for the loss of eight wickets after the 50 overs and lost the match by 15 runs.
