Not just cricketers but people from all over the world heaped praise for MS Dhoni after the former India captain scored a blistering 70 not out off 34 balls to guide Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a thrilling five-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 match on Wednesday night.
Just like other fans, Pakistan Super League (PSL) anchor Zainab Abbas too was hoping for Dhoni to finish the match. During Dhoni’s inning, Zainab took to Twitter and wrote: “A chance for @msdhoni to remind the world that he is still the best finisher in the world, what a hit!”.

However, Zainab’s tweet didn’t go down well with the Pakistani fans and trolling ensued. They reminded Zainab of the fact that BCCI doesn’t invite Pakistani players for the IPL and also India is trying to isolate Pakistan in every field.
