A defeat after nine consecutive ODI wins didn’t dampen Virat Kohli‘s spirits as he was seen having a relaxed chat with stars of the Indian women’s cricketers on Thursday.
After suffering a defeat at the hands of Australia in the 4th ODI at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Kohli was seen catching up with Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Kavita Patil.

While some Twitter fans loved the pictures, others took the opportunity to drive their point home, which was regarding the decision to send MS Dhoni at number 7 behind the likes of Kedar Jadhav and Manish Pandey as India chased a mammoth 335 runs to win the 4th ODI.
Dhoni’s batting position in the loss to Australia in Bengaluru irked a lot of fans and they made their feelings quite clear.
Here’s how fans reacted on Twitter:

I don't understand why Kohli & management are still using Dhoni as finisher? Let him enjoy at 4/5 & prepare Pandya as a finisher.#INDvAUS

Send DHONI at No.4 to bat. So that he can play well for team. At least now after
10 long years. #DhoniatNo4.— Divyang Morar (@Ronit49) September 30, 2017

That's good but I want to ask that is dhoni also going to bat at 11 as if he could be demoted at 7 he might be demoted at 11
