Time to kick Dhoni out? Twitter reactions

India lost the opening match of the one day international (ODI) series against South Africa by five runs in Kanpur on Sunday, despite a flamboyant 150 by Rohit Sharma. This loss adds salt to the injury of Indian fans who have already had to put up with the team's abysmal performance against the Proteas in the just-concluded T20 series. What's worse, Mahendra Singh Dhoni - the captain of the Indian team in the limited over formats - is facing a lot of flak.
