Yesterday, after the Rising Pune Supergiants fell to their third successive loss in the Indian Premier League, Harsha had tweeted about MS Dhoni's comparatively slow batting that wasn't enough for his side to go over the line against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

180+ run chase. 41 (38) can't win it for you. Some days it might come off but most days it won't from there

Cricketing wise, Bhogle's point made sense as Dhoni did struggle to rotate the strike and when the required rate crept more than 10 an over, he hit only three fours in his knock. But it musn't be forgotten that Dhoni is no longer the force that he was as a batsman when he came to the scene. This fact has been at many times highlighted by Bhogle in his commentary stints previously.

It was earlier reported that Amitabh Bachchan's take on commentators not praising Indian cricketers enough was directed at Bhogle and that tweet of Big B was supported by Dhoni as well.
Bhogle's tweet, taking a possible dig at Dhoni yesterday was greeted with mixed reactions.

To which Bhogle cared enough to clarify his point.
