Live Hindi News :- The IPL 2024 T20 cricket series has reached its final stage. Kolkata and Hyderabad teams will play to win the trophy in the final to be held in Chennai. However, in this series, the teams of Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai, where Indian legends MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are playing, were eliminated from the league round, which was a disappointment for the fans.

The fans of the team protested against the Mumbai management for removing Rohit Sharma, who has won 5 trophies among these 3 players, from the captaincy.

Mumbai fans love and support Rohit Sharma a lot. Similarly, RCB fans have a crazy love for Virat Kohli, who fights tooth and nail for the Bangalore team every year even if he doesn't win the trophy.

Langer wondered: But it can be said that CSK fans have blind love for MS Dhoni, who has led India to 3 World Cups and 5 IPL Champions titles to surpass them. Chennai fans especially like Dhoni to such an extent that they want their batsman to watch him bat.

In this case, Lucknow coach Justin Langer said that it is surprising that Indian fans celebrate Dhoni as a hero instead of Sachin Tendulkar.

Here is what he said about it, it is a very good thing. I have heard it for the first time. Then we played 2 matches against CSK. Especially in Lucknow where they came to play. “Lucknow stadium can accommodate around 50000 people. But actually that day 48,000 fans were in Lucknow with MS Dhoni's number 7 jersey. I couldn't believe it. Then we went to Chennai to play. There not 98 percent but 100 percent fans were in support of Dhoni.

Can't believe that such a player is being celebrated as a hero in India.

I have seen Sachin Tendulkar celebrate like that when he used to play in India earlier. Later Virat Kohli and Dhoni celebrated while coaching Australia. But here they celebrate even more than that,” he said. Langer also said that someone celebrating like this hurts other players. For example, he said that it was not right for Mumbai fans to protest against Hardik Pandya for removing India captain Rohit Sharma.
