What is the dark side of MS Dhoni?


1. The goat sacrifice of 2008
One of the biggest controversies that stood against our former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni was the Goat sacrifice. No, not the GOAT but actual Goat sacrifice which sparked angered many sacred Indians.
It was undoubtedly a dark tale in MSD’s glorious life till date. Way back in 2008, Dhoni celebrated India’s tri-series triumph in Australia in such a way that it angered the whole nation. Because we do not look up to our idol getting involved in such acts, Dhoni allegedly sacrificed a goat at a Ranchi Temple to celebrate the series win.
The incident showed a dark side of Dhoni which angered the whole nation but Mahi made sure to never repeat such act. However, he is a human and we make mistakes, it was one bad decision of MS Dhoni which we can forget seeing the level of good he has done for our nation.
The Illegal Gloves Issue.
This was another incident from the year 2008 which took place during India’s ODI loss to Australia in Sydney. It was later found by ICC that the gloves used by Mahi during the Sydney match for wicket keeping were “illegal” and ICC also warned the Indian skipper of a penalty if he use them again without inspection.
The Commercial Conflict
So, this is how the conflict occurred. In 2013, there were allegations of conflict of interest on MSD of giving some players an unfair advantage to be in the team over other probable. Dhoni was alleged to be part of Rhiti Sports, a fully integrated sports marketing, and management company, company which managed some Indian team players namely Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, and Pragyan Ojha.
IPL Match Fixing
Since the 2014 IPL Match Fixing controversy, Dhoni was given the status of Match Fixer by many. The reason was clear, he was alleged for match-fixing, no not in international matches but in the Indian Premier League.
The investigator of the IPL match-fixing scandal SP Kumar found in his investigation that a bookie who goes by the name of Kitty had confessed that Gurunath Meiyappan (team principal of Chennai Super Kings) had informed him that Dhoni had agreed to (score 140 and) lose a match.
The Superintendent of Police also mentioned in his report that Gurunath had allegedly “confirmed” Dhoni’s involvement. Just like it happens after the involvement of a big name, SP Kumar was transferred from Internal Security to Railways post his interrogation with Kitty and though the matter grabbed headlines then, it was not adequately followed up.
Dhoni or Lord Vishnu?
Portraying MS Dhoni as Lord Vishnu, was it justified?
The Dark Side of MS Dhoni spills this controversy which spiced up in the year 2013 when Dhoni was displayed on the Business Today’s cover story in Lord Vishnu’s avatar.
Being in a nation where intolerance is often heard but never practiced, idolizing Dhoni as Lord Vishnu angered some people. The former Indian skipper was called the God of Big Deals was shown with many hands with holding branded products, gadgets and shoe in hands.
As expected, one who got offended by this sued Dhoni under section 295 and 34 of IPC on which the High Court observed: “A celebrity and a cricketer like Dhoni should know the consequences of hurting religious sentiments of people. He should have known the consequences of doing such ads.“
Later, the ACMM (Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) had issued summons to Dhoni to appear before the court, which he did not and instead moved the High Court against its direction.

Is Dinesh Karthik the father of Murali Vijay's son?

Is dinesh karthik the father of Murali Vijay's son? While Dinesh’s wife was expecting when he divorced her, the child is in fact Murali’s. As of now, Murali’s wife has 3 kids, when the 3rd one was born an article from “The Indian Express” said this: “Vijay has two more children – a son and a daughter – with Nikita, who he married in 2012” with   Nikita. That solves the mystery. Finding your own teammate having an outside romance with your wife must have been pretty difficult to bear. Happy that Dinesh moved on and is happy with his current wife Dipika Pallikal. Source:   Murali Vijay, wife Nikita welcome third child, see pic

What is the difference between Dhoni's captaincy and Kohli's captaincy?

"Not everyone is Pujara here" "It's not easy to survive man" "Come on Pat, hit some sixes" "Come on Pat - you’re not putting the bad ball away" “We have got a special guest here. Have you heard the word temporary captain ever? ” This was Rishabh Pant from behind the stumps in the ongoing Test series against Australia in 2018. A 21 year old who debuted in Test cricket this year. Sunil Gavaskar condemned his behaviour and was right in doing so— “Say anything you want to your teammates, not to the opposition.” After all, the game is called a “gentleman’s game” for a reason. You may think I am making a big deal out of a silly banter, but I’ll let Rahul Dravid explain why this behaviour is so wrong. In an interview, Rahul was asked if aggression was overrated. This was his reply— “In the end, it comes down to being authentic to who you are. I cringe at times when I read Virat’s statements. I don’t blame ...

Who was the first double hundred in ODI cricket?

This is a trick question if you wish to know the real answer, Belinda Clark was the first double ton maker in ODI, Sachin made the first in ODI for men. Here is a description of all double ton from men and which one is the best. I have written this before as well but i consider the first ODI double hundred by Sachin against South Africa to be the best one for multiple reasons. Since 70s when ODI started, no one scored a double hundred for almost 39 years, this was a mental barrier, Sachin broke that and was able to score 200* , once this was done, others knew that this could be done so essentially this double century helped others from mental aspect standpoint, batsmen started believing that its possible to score a double hundred in ODIs, since then we have 6 more double hundreds in ODIs and some credit must go to Sachin for starting this journey Sachin scored double ton against the attack of Steyn and Kallis which is not ordinary by any nature, he scored his runs ag...
