Days after claiming that Steve Smith had “overshadowed” MS Dhoni during Rising Pune Supergiant’s opening encounter against Mumbai Indians in the IPL, Harsh Goenka has taken another dig at Dhoni, this time comparing the strike rates of his team’s players and Twitter once again, wasn’t pleased.

Harsh Goenka can’t seem to stop taking jibes at MS Dhoni. After justifying the decision of promoting Smith to the captaincy based on the Australian's performance in the IPL match against Mumbai, Goenka once again attempted to show Dhoni in poor light by comparing the strike rate of the players from his brother, Sanjiv Goenka’s team, Rising Pune Supergiant.  Goenka’s latest tweet read as follows: “#RPS batting statistics until now – Manoj Tiwari, Rahane, Christian have the best strike rates.”

The list showed MS Dhoni in 5th spot with a strike rate of 73.91 and though Harsh Goenka didn’t name MS Dhoni this time, Twitteratti could read between the lines and trolled Goenka for his tweet.

While some fans can’t wait to see the back of Goenka, others claimed that they supported Dhoni and not the Rising Pune Supergiant. 

“If u cantacknowledge d value of a legend like mahi, u dont deserve him. The whole country is with mahi. Nxt year he will be bck like a boss.”

One fan even attempted to start a movement on Twitter asking fans to change their name to #iSupportMSDhoni to do protest against Goenka.

@hvgoenka Ms dhoni is a man..he is not robot..that he will hit run in every match..yu dnt know abt cricket..we didnt want to see in the nxt ipl#goenka

Finally, even  Harsh Goenka’s leadership skills were questioned by a fan named ‘— Bharat (@bharat1827)’ who said that Dhoni could teach Goenka a lesson in leadership. “@hvgoenka I am surprised so far how u hv managed ur business wd sch poor leadership skills. You will learn a lesson soon from MSD. Note it.”

Dhoni, on the other hand, will be looking to answer his critics with the bat in the upcoming matches of IPL 2017.
