However, the picture did not go down well with the netizens who are angry with the team for their dismal performance in England. Many posted negative comments and blamed the members of the team for the loss at Southampton. Dhawan had a perfect response to the people who trolled the members of the team. Without mentioning anyone in the comments, he wrote, “People who have been writing negative stuff. We are also hurt the day you guys are. It is important to learn from our mistakes and move forward. We give our best for the nation everytime we walk on the ground and most important thing is as a team we should be in a good mindset before the next game. We cannot change the past. So we do our hardwork at the ground as always and keep our process strong. After practice it is important to laugh and be happy so we create positivity in the team. That's what champions do. Easy to be happy when winning. Warriors stay positive when things are down too. Thanks to the fans who are still supporting us.”
