    Sports stars, politicians expressed disgust at the incident

    The abuses and threats against Dhoni and his family have been criticized by many within the sports fraternity and even political leaders.

    Players' failure to perform "does not give anyone authority to give a threat to a young child (sic)," said former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan.
