An emotional post showing a crying cameraman reacting to Dhoni’s dismissal at the ICC World Cup Semis, went viral on the Internet, is now revealed to be fake
Indian cricket fans showed great support to the Indian cricket team after their ouster from the World Cup race as they were defeated in the semi-final against New Zealand. Fans of Indian team applauded their fighting spirit and were very supportive of the team. However, it was for sure a heartbreaking and emotional moment as MS Dhoni got run down. Soon after the match, an emotional post went viral on the Internet and it claimed that even the cameraman on the ground cried on Dhoni’s dismissal. Is it made up or actually true?
The post that went viral on the Internet is a collage of four photographs showing the cameraman on ground crying and a picture of MS Dhoni leaving the field after his dismissal. However, according to India Today, the post is now revealed to be fake. The man shown in the pictured is in fact, an Iraqi photojournalist, Mohammed al Azzawi, who cried on the defeat of Iraq in the AFC Asian Cup football tournament 2019. The photo of the cameraman had been shared by the official Twitter handle of Asian Cup in January this year and identified the man as an Iraqi photographer.
