India started their tour of Australia with a 74-run victory over Western Australia XI yesterday, but the story that attracted eyeballs was the non-bailable warrant issued against the Indian captain by the court in Anantpur, Andhra Pradesh for a controversial magazine cover in which he is depicted as a Hindu God.

VHP leader Shyam Sunder filed the case against Dhoni and the magazine claiming they had hurt religious sentiments. As usual, the twitterati came out in full force to defend their hero, while others pointed out the trivial nature of the matter.

There were also some funny tweets which are sure to crack you up.

Non-bailable warrant issued against MS Dhoni. Poor guy. He has collected 100s of stumps. But now, no bail.

I'm waiting to see how the lawyers are going to argue that MS Dhoni actually grew multiple hands and held products in them.

I'm sure MS Dhoni has enough bails collected from his long career. He can just use few of them. https://t.co/UTch7PsEoM

Non-bailable warrant issued against MS Dhoni for posing as Lord Vishnu. Time for all Ram Leela actors to go underground?

Non-bailable warrant issued against MS Dhoni. This is what happens when you make a living out of dislodging bails all your life.

It is appalling that a warrant can be issued against @msdhoni for a photograph that was morphed.
