Ravichandran Ashwin won the ICC Cricketer of the Year as well as the Test cricketer of the Year. But, soon after the praise, he got trolled by MS Dhoni fans after he forgot to mention the retired Test cricketer and former captain in his thanksgiving speech.
Here’s Ashwin’s speech

MSD fans clearly weren’t pleased with Ash snubbing his one-time mentor.
Now say, MS Dhoni is a saint and Ashwin is his bhakth!! https://t.co/JrQotjkGK7

Don't know why MSD fans going nuts on Ashwin for not mentioning Dhoni. He is MSD who never seek for credits, so u guys should calm down too.
