Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden has let out his anger on ICC in MS Dhoni‘s Balidaan Insignia controversy. The Indian wicket keeper was in news for wearing keeping gloves that had Balidaan symbol on them.

Ever since, they were first seen on TV, the fans were happy with former skipper’s gesture. However, things got raged when ICC directed BCCI to stop Dhoni from wearing the gloves again.

The Indian cricket board has instead requested ICC to to allow Dhoni to have the logo on his gloves. On the other end, ever since ICC requested on the badge, the rage on the issue is going on across social media.

From cricket fans to former cricketers, everyone are expressing their opinions on the issue. Matthew Hayden is the latest to join the conversation about this controversy.

“Typical @ICC @cricketworldcup……..Majoring in the minor things, think our games higher power has much greater issues to worry about including how to contextualise 3 formats of our great game”

Matthew Hayden had played with MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings for a considerable amount of time. On the other hand, it is commendable from Hayden to ask ICC to concentrate on much bigger things in cricket.

To be honest, Dhoni would have never expected that wearing Balidaan insignia on his gloves will have so much controversy surrounded. Although, the issue seems close to settled, the debate is not looking to slow down anytime soon.

However, a win in this game would definitely boost the confidence of the winning side. India are at full strength and Virat Kohli is set to choose the best XI for this key clash. On the other hand, Australia already proved why they are the amongst the favorites in this world cup against West Indies.

From a losing position, the five champions had clawed their way back and won the game. India and Australia is the first major clash among big teams in this World Cup. MS Dhoni will be keen to prove his worth after all the unnecessary attention he was given in the last few days.
