Indian fans turn on their idols

Furious Indian cricket fans stormed the home of national wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday after the five-wicket defeat by Bangladesh. Some 200 fans brought down walls and pillars of Dhoni's house, which is under construction, in the eastern city of Ranchi to protest against his performance. State authorities deployed paramilitary units to prevent further possible attacks.

Similar protests were reported in Ahmedabad, where irate fans were out on the streets. They burned effigies of Rahul Dravid and screamed slogans against out-of-form batsman Virender Sehwag. "They have betrayed the faith of the entire nation," the fans chanted.
