The news broke on Sunday afternoon when Sushant Singh Rajput’s body was discovered in his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai. The cause of the suicide is believed to be depression as he struggled with a lot of financial crisis. Nevertheless, the CBI is investigating the same, and new stories might unfold in the coming few days.

Meanwhile, Shane Watson expressed his grief by taking to his official Twitter handle in which it said that the news still seems very unbelievable. Watson recalled the movie “MS Dhoni – the Untold Story” and claimed that at times it was challenging to differentiate between the MS Dhoni and Sushant Singh. Since 2018, the Queensland-born has plied his trade for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL under Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I can’t stop thinking about #sushantsinghrajput. It is just so tragic!!! In The Untold Story, at times you forgot whether it was Sushant or MSD. Amazing portrayal and now the world is much poorer with him not here in it. #gonetoosoon pic.twitter.com/pFYz4cD9jK
