‘Dhoniiiii finishes off in style. A magnificent strike into the crowd. India lift the World Cup after 28 years. The party’s started in the dressing room. And it’s an Indian captain, who’s been absolutely magnificent, in the night of the final.’

Any cricket fan worth his salt just read this in Ravi Shastri’s most dramatic voice, as Mahendra Singh Dhoni enchanted the Wankhede on the night of 2nd April 2011.

It just seems like yesterday when India lifted the world cup. I still get goosebumps watching that finish. Any fan would relive the moment as if it happened yesterday. But what actually happened yesterday was that THE CAPTAIN COOL announced his retirement on social media, and I quote “Thanks a lot for your love and support throughout from 1929 hrs consider me as Retired.”

The Captain Cool’s retirement will always remain contemporary with sunset.

Just some time after Mahi’s retirement, Suresh Raina joined him on Instagram saying, “It was nothing but lovely playing with you, @mahi7781 . With my heart full of pride, I choose to join you in this journey. Thank you India. Jai Hind!”

Hailing from Ranchi (then Bihar, now Jharkhand) MS Dhoni was a goalkeeper in football, and was asked by his PE teacher to do wicket-keeping. And from then a new era started. From playing at school level to playing domestic cricket and making has name in the international cricket as one of the best captains the sport has ever seen. He also worked as a ticket collector when he played Ranji Trophy for the railways team.

From scoring a duck in his first international match against Bangladesh on 23 December 2004 to scoring quick 40 in 23 in his last international match against Australia on 27 February 2019, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has done it all, seen it all, and won it all. He is the only captain to win all the three ICC trophies: T20 World Cup (2007), ODI World Cup (2011), and Champions Trophy (2013).
He also has won the IPL trophy thrice. A biopic was also made of Mahendra Singh Dhoni where his character was played by late Sushant Singh Rajput.

538 matches
17,266 runs
16 hundreds
108 fifties
359 sixes
829 dismissals

What an international career @msdhoni had 🙌#DhoniRetires pic.twitter.com/GpD6DUWuLv

Though he has retired from international cricket, we will still see Mahi playing for Chennai Super Kings in IPL this year.
Adios Captain! Twitter flourished an emotional scene last night when former Indian captain took an uncertain decision out of sudden and since then various legends of the game and other celebrities congratulated him for an outstanding career and #dhoniretires is trending.

SOME OF THE BEST TWEETS ARE –

One of the most influential man in the history of Indian cricket👏His impact in & around cricket was massive. He was a man with vision and a master in knowing how to build a team. Will surely miss him in blue but we have him in yellow.

See you on 19th at the toss @msdhoni 👍😁 pic.twitter.com/kR0Lt1QdhG

Every cricketer has to end his journey one day, but still when someone you've gotten to know so closely announces that decision, you feel the emotion much more. What you've done for the country will always remain in everyone's heart…… pic.twitter.com/0CuwjwGiiS

— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) August 15, 2020

Congrats @msdhoni on a brilliant international career. I loved and enjoyed every contest we had as players and now I still have to find ways to stop you winning games against the @DelhiCapitals. Look forward to saying it in person in a few weeks time. pic.twitter.com/R34XMtha0h

Always a pleasure to play against you @msdhoni You did it with style, flamboyance and above all else, calmness. Your own way. The Dhoni way. Congrats on all you achieved. https://t.co/K9zfx2VLmF

#DHONI what a legend you are .. one of my all time fav athletes and personalities on and off the field .. thank you for everything you have done and good luck with the future .. it’s been an honor to be an athlete in the same era as you from the same country 🙏🏽

— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) August 16, 2020

The only thing that is predictable about him, is his unpredictability.
You can try and guess what he will do post retirement, but statistically you’ve got a better chance of winning the lottery🤓 #Dhoni

"Me & my boys proved u wrong.
I think u r happier than us" – Dhoni to Shastri !!

T20 WC 07 Semis vs Aus.

Rare for him to say as much. But when he does that humor & respect👍#DhoniRetires @RaviShastriOfc @bhogleharsha @ESPNcricinfo @ChennaiIPL @vikrantgupta73 @IndiaToday pic.twitter.com/AU8jsJscR8

#MSDhoni not only a legend in Cricket but a Great leader & manager of men. Being young, hope your leadership capabilities will serve the Nation in more significant ways. You have been a big boost in the trajectory of Indian sport. Wishes and blessings. -Sg#DhoniRetires @msdhoni https://t.co/Tn122pQ8MG

— Sadhguru (@SadhguruJV) August 16, 2020

Not once, never, can i remember our hearts not pounding, our excitement levels not rising when Dhoni came out to bat. A true game changer.
You made cricket seem simple, almost casual, yet exhilarating. Unexpected. If that’s not genius, I don’t know what is #Dhoni #DhoniRetires

— Shekhar Kapur (@shekharkapur) August 15, 2020

How can I ever forget the iconic sixer!! World cup champions 2011 India!! Was in the stands at Wankhede, proud and tears rolling down… Cricket will never be the same… Take a bow @msdhoni 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/69vsf96820
