Gollum Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Dhoni's popularity much like Sallu Bhai's is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with modern day India, a country of 1.3 billion chewts and rising. In terms of ability/talent/achievement both Dhoni and Sallu aren't even in the top 50 contemporary Indians in their field (sports, entertainment), yet look at the craze.

But if anything how does it show that trends is better measure popularity than social media numbers. In fact, your example itself shows trends is far from what you're expecting. Social media numbers are closer. truth to be told .. i got mixed up with popular and famous anyway you dont expect me to agree that sachin is more famous or more popular than dhoni Garuda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sachin is more popular at least on social media by a big margin. Facebook: Sachin - 28 million Dhoni - 20 million Twitter: Sachin - 20 million Dhoni - 7 million Instagram: Sachin - 10.2 million Dhoni - 9.7 million You are saying that Dhoni is more popular atm as per google trends. Why not let ICF poll be tie breaker to decide this? I think point is you're scared of getting a phainta in your own thread by ICFers . Nothing to fear, I will ensure fair poll .

Anoop K Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Till 2014 sachin was beating Dhoni and it seems even Virat was getting better of Dhoni by then. Can anyone do the comparison od Dhoni and Virat from 2016 ? https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/on-google-search-trends-virat-kohli-m-s-dhoni-beaten-roundly-by-brand-sachin-tendulkar/1231155/ Edited May 21, 2018 by Anoop K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upriser7 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 As if Dhoni wasn't booed.....I watched India-NZ T20 match in Chennai(around 2012 or 2013). I remember Chepauk crowd booing Dhoni lol...never thought I would see such a day. Dhoni came in when India were in a comfortable position to win the match and then played a very bad knock, India ended up losing by 1 run.
