Twitter Reacts After MS Dhoni Announces His Retirement From International Cricket
Updated - 15 Aug 2020, 11:05 PM
MS Dhoni has quashed all the hopes that his million fans would have had of once again seeing him play for the Indian cricket team after he announced to call it a day from international cricket via an Instagram post on Saturday, August 15th.
Dhoni last featured for Team India during the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, post which he took an extended sabbatical from the game, quelling further speculations among fans and media that we might have seen the last of the great men in Indian colors.
Every time an Indian squad was announced for a bilateral series, speculations galored on Dhoni’s absence from the set-up more and more and especially after the BCCI excluded his name from the central contract list earlier this year.
Dhoni also impinged himself as one of the most shrewd tacticians of the game, something that we will only get to see in the IPL now. Following his retirement, social media has been poured in heartfelt messages for the legendary ‘once in a lifetime cricketer’

Welcome to the retirement club, MSD!
What a magical career! ?— Kevin Pietersen? (@KP24) August 15, 2020
Your contribution to Indian cricket has been immense, @msdhoni. Winning the 2011 World Cup together has been the best moment of my life. Wishing you and your family all the very best for your 2nd innings. pic.twitter.com/5lRYyPFXcp

Dhoni retires as one of India's greatest cricketers but more significantly as one of our sport's most symbolic players. As India rose to dominate the game Dhoni was the bridge between the class of Tendulkar & the fire of Kohli, bringing ice-cool captaincy, big hitting & swagger.

To have a player like him,Mission Impossible. Na Koi Hai,Na Koi Tha, Na Koi Hoga MS ke jaisa. Players will come & go but there won’t be a calmer man like him. Dhoni with his connect with people having aspirations was like a family member to many cricket lovers. Om Finishaya Namah pic.twitter.com/glemkBUwWT

No media speculations.
No formal announcements.
No press meet.
No grand goodbye game.
No final speech.
Not even a single clue.An IGTV video with a classic Hindi song. What a way to say it. Probably the coolest ever. #MSDhoni, for you.
