An Indian news channel hosted a program where MS Dhoni and his team were showered with a whole heap of criticism. The show took liberal shots at the Men in Blue, repeatedly describing their loss as ‘humiliating’. They even tried to trend the hashtag #ShamedInSydney on Twitter.
That, however, turned out to be a bad idea as the Indian cricket team fans rose to the defence of the Indian team, and decided to trend #ShameonTimesNow instead. Here are some detailed info on the same.
#ShameonTimesNow trends worldwide
The Indian team’s fans seem to understand all that much better than the news channel, and they took to Twitter to let their feelings be known.
#ShameonTimesNow is now trending at the second spot worldwide and at the top spot in India, while #ShamedinSydney is nowhere to be seen on the trend list. The TV channel has reacted to the angry response from fans by stopping all their efforts to promote #ShamedinSydney, but it is apparently a case of too little, too late.
Twitter Trolled Times Of India with #ShamedInSydney:
