Andhracafe.com- Ranchi, March 18 Cricket fans, angry over the Indian team's loss Saturday to minnows Bangladesh in the World Cup, Sunday damaged wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni's under-construction house in Ranchi.

Around two hundred fans under the banner of the Jharkhand Yuva Morcha (JYM) attacked the house in the Harmu housing colony. JYM is the youth wing of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), which is part of Jharkhand's ruling alliance.

The house was being built on 4,000 square feet of land, costing around Rs.5 million, gifted to the dashing player by former Jharkhand chief minister Arjun Munda.

The angry protesters burnt an effigy of the dashing player and shouted slogans 'Dhoni Murdabad' (Down with Dhoni) and demanded that the land gifted to him be taken back.

'Dhoni's performance is getting from bad to worse. He seems to be concentrating only on advertisements instead of wicketkeeping and batting,' said Ramesh Mahto, one of the protesters.

Police have meanwhile provided security at the Dhoni family's home in the Mecon housing colony.

In their very first tie of the World Cup in the West Indies, India lost by five wickets to Bangladesh, angering fans across the country. Along with a majority of the Indian batsmen, Dhoni failed and was out for a duck.
