"We had come to watch Dhoni and Virat Kholi bat but India could not bat due to rain. We are disappointed," said Ronit.
Echoing his view, Amrit Raj said: "We spent money to watch our country's sensations Dhoni, Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan. We lost, both, money and an interesting match due to rain. We do not know when another match will again take place in Ranchi."
This is the fifth time that Dhoni's house has come under attack from fans. Dhoni's under-construction house was also attacked in 2007 when India lost a World Cup match against Bangladesh. Angry fans then demolished an under-construction wall of the house.
The fourth ODI was crucial for India as it is trailing the series 1-2.
