Chennai, Feb 24: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who received brickbats just a few months ago after the England series disaster, was today showered with accolades from former players after his career-best knock of unbeaten 206 in the first cricket Test against Australia here.
Dhoni today found an admirer for his cool batting approach in former England captain Michael Vaughan.
“The coolest man in world cricket, MS Dhoni delivers when it most matters… Incredible innings against the Aussies…,” Vaughan wrote on his twitter account.
Legendary spinner Shane Warne, among the television commentary team in the series, was also impressed by Dhoni’s knock.
“WOW, M S Dhoni is going off here in Chennai, amazing batting,” tweeted Warne.
Another Australian legend Glenn McGrath, who is heading the MRF Pace Foundation here, wrote on his Twitter page, “Great innings by MS Dhoni 206*. India in a strong position against the Aussies.”
India’s World Cup Yuvraj Singh tweeted, “Congratulations ! To @imVkohli and @msdhoni on there spectacular knocks specially ms a double ton in test cricket is a memory.”
“What an innings @msdhoni truly inspirational stuff. One of the best innings i have seen,” Dhoni’s Indian team-mate Ajinkya Rahane said.
