India continued their fine form at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup with another dominating performance on Thursday. This time, it was the West Indies who were on the receiving end as they made a mockery of themselves while chasing India’s 268.
While skipper Virat Kohli and new ball bowler Mohammad Shami came up with an inspired performance to guide India to victory, it was MS Dhoni who was once again in the limelight. The wicketkeeper-batsman did well to help India reach 268 with a useful 56 not out.
Here’s how the fans reacted to Dhoni’s performance against the Windies:
MSD’s half century a mixed bag. Massive stroke of luck saved him. But finished the innings superbly to make it an invaluable inning. Have India got enough is the question. Spinners hold the key IMO

Yes, India has an excruciatingly long tail and India wouldn't have reached 250 if not for Dhoni's innings. But he needs to rotate strike and look to push the gaps in the middle overs and that can be done without taking any risk. Just that, MS. #CWC19

Their outing against Afghanistan would have seen a number of fans criticise the 37-year-old for his slow approach while batting, but on Wednesday Dhoni all but silenced the critics yet again.
You criticise Dhoni the batsman , he pulls off a stunner in wicket keeping

You criticise Dhoni the wicketkeeper , he changes the game with his strategy
So basically you criticise Dhoni , you troll yourself. #INDvsWI pic.twitter.com/33BhrQMgEv
