Dinesh Karthik's heroics against Bangladesh in Nidahas Trophy 2018 has sealed his name in annals of T20I history. Apart from Rohit Sharma's fifty, it was a majestic innings by Karthik to seal the deal for India.
He kept his cool and hit a six off the last ball to score the required 5 runs to win the match and the final of the series. Fans went berserk after Karthik's flat six over extra cover on the final delivery.
The 32-year-old was awarded man of the match for his 8 balls 29* runs innings, which won India the match. But how about not mentioning his name in a congratulatory tweet for India? It sounds petty isn't it?
Indian Test opener Murali Vijay, who has not so good relationship with Karthik, lauded the Indan team but didn't take the Karthik's name in his tweet.
Fans were upset seeing Vijay's tweet without a mention of the man of the moment.
"Remarkable win boys @bcci ???? pretty much typifies the brand of cricket we play ???????? #INDVBAN #Champions #TeamIndia #supremacy #NidahasTrophy #NidahasTrophyFinal," tweeted Vijay.

The tweet didn't go well with the fans. Here is how Twitter reacted to it:
@mvj888 this is not the first time you are doing this. Even when TN won the Vijay Hazare trophy last year you tweets congratulating the coach when @DineshKarthik played a stellar role for the win. Why tweet when u know you will get a backlash??? Grow up man
