India 24/4 With No Dhoni in Sight, and Twitter Has Some Questions

India lost four wickets early but MS Dhoni did not come out to bat.

Play resumed on Wednesday for the 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final and some good bowling by India ensured New Zealand got to post just 239 in their 50 overs.

It was the time for the batsmen soon after but Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul all failed as India were reduced to 5/3. While Virat came out to bat at the fall of Rohit’s wicket, many were expecting MS Dhoni to step out when Virat Kohli was given out lbw.

However, the former skipper continues to sit in the dressing room despite the fall of Dinesh Karthik as well.

India are now four down with Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya at the crease.

Twitter, on expected lines, had a few things to say.

Dhoni? Injured? Should be here otherwise.

Why would we not have Dhoni, as the most experienced batsman, out in the middle in a crisis? Unless the idea is for Hardik to hit India out of trouble? Very confused. https://t.co/35EfOkXdW3

Only explanation I can think of for Dhoni not coming is that Hardik and Pant are going to hit enough to get past D/L target for 4 wickets.

Dhoni hiding as usual when target is big. Comes out when only few to score and makes a scene
