MS Dhoni 'likes' tweet about match fixing, leaves cricketing world baffled

Mahendra Singh Dhoni sent his fans into a state of confusion recently with his strange Twitter activity.

The former Indian captain, who helped Team India level the on-going three match ODI series against Sri Lanka on Wednesday, isn't a very social media savvy person. His posts are few and far between but manage to create a lot of curiosity among his long legion of fans.

That's why when MSD randomly liked a tweet on Monday, his fans didn't know what to make of it. Even more so because of the content in that tweet.

The tweet said that it's confirmed that Virat Kohli's Team India will win the 2019 ICC World Cup, followed by the words - 'Match Fixed'.

Here's the tweet

CONFIRMED: 2019 का आईसीसी क्रिकेट वर्ल्ड कप #ViratKohli की टीम इंडिया जीत रही है Match Fixed @imVkohli @msdhoni @RaviShastriOfc @BCCI @SGanguly99 @sachin_rt @therealkapildev @azharflicks @ianuragthakur @ShuklaRajiv @PawarSpeaks @GautamGambhir @imjadeja https://t.co/QpyiTCTIQt

The tweet has the accounts of Kohli, Dhoni, Ravi Shastri, the BCCI, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Mohammad Azharuddin, Anurag Thakur, Rajiv Shukla, Sharad Pawar, Gautam Gambhir and Ajay Jadeja tagged.

Here are some reactions to Dhoni's 'Like'

When someone mentions you in tweet you get notifications and in notifications only we can like, so going through notification you never know by mistake while scrolling it might have happened.
Or the second case is, he might have found it funny.

The last time Dhoni hit 'like' for a tweet was December 31, 2014 for a tweet from the BCCI account for a Ranji Trophy match between Hyderabad and Services.

His only other 'like' is a tweet from journalist and TV anchor Rajdeep Sardesai, on March 10, 2013.

MS Dhoni has a massive following of 6.7m on Twitter and has only tweeted 45 times.
