BCCI had MS Dhoni as captain of the Indian cricket team on their website, which they later rectified after fans trolled the issue on social media
MS Dhoni
Board of Control for Cricket in India’s howler on their official website has left social media in splits. The website had Mahendra Singh Dhoni labelled as captain of the Indian team, before rectifying it later on. The World Cup-winning cricketer gave up captaincy in January 2017 to continue to represent India in ODIs and T20Is as a player.
MS Dhoni has been in the news recently with fans speculating about his future following a poor showing in the ODI series against England. Coach Ravi Shastri, however, quashed all rumours, stating that the former India captain was "not going anywhere".
This latest blunder by BCCI turned out to be a free for all on Twitter as cricket fans went berserk sharing several jokes on the social media platform

It feels like BCCI wants its previous captain(@msdhoni) to take charge again or they might have forgotten to update their website. However, as fan of MSD we appreciate BCCI for remembering MSD as a captain(Masterofstrategy)#MSDhoni #ViratKohli #BCCI #Indiancricketteam #Captain pic.twitter.com/UbcNm4F8Zf
