After India's humiliating defeat in the World Test Championship finals against Australia, Cricket experts and pundits have criticised the team management. Meanwhile, some fans started recalling the era of former India skipper MS Dhoni when India won three back-to-back multi-national trophies in just six years.

Highlighting the same a fan praised Dhoni and said, "No coach, no mentor, young boys, most of the senior players denied to take part. never captained any single match before. This guy defeated prime Australia in the semifinals and won a T20 World Cup in 48 days after becoming captain." This tweet didn't go well with ace India spinner Harbhajan Singh who responded with a message that all 11 won the trophy.

He said, "Yes when these matches were played this young boy was playing alone from India.. not the other 10 .. so alone he won the World Cup trophies .. irony when Australia or any other nation win the World Cup headlines say Australia or etc country won. But when India wins it’s said the captain won it’s a team sport. Win together lose together."

India struggled against Australia with the bat

As India was asked to chase 444 runs in the second innings to win the World Test Championship finals team once again failed to bat well. Before the fifth and final day on Sunday, India was 164/3, with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane undefeated on 44 and 20, respectively. However, shortly before the lunch break on Day 5, Scott Boland (3/46) and Nathan Lyon (4/41) went through the Indian middle and lower order to see them off for 234.

As a result, Australia became the first team to win all multi-national trophies available. Australia has won the ODI World Cup five times, the Champions Trophy twice, and the T20 World Cup once, in addition to the WTC. Meanwhile, Indian players will be having off for a month before the West Indies tour. India will start their campaign for the next cycle of the World Test Championship with two-match Test series against West Indies starting on July 12.

Here is how fans react to Harbhajan Singh's comments:

Don’t you understand the concept of a FAN or CAPTAIN?

Where in this tweet it has been said that no one else contributed?

Read carefully tweet praises his captaincy capabilities and says nowhere that he alone won the World Cup.

Do you deny that the contribution of Dhoni as a…

1. He never shamelessly slapped someone on the ground after losing.
2. After his departure, those 10 players have yet to win an ICC trophy.
3. Despite having friends like you, he was cool enough to lead India to numerous victories.

People will take Bhajji out of context here but actually he has a point. Pat Cummins was asked to captain the Aus test side in late 2021 & he won WTC mace as captain in his first attempt. But only he won't be hailed for the success, every single Aussie player will get his due.
