India’s veteran wicketkeeper-batsman, MS Dhoni, dr꧑⛦ew curtains to his glittering career on Saturday, with an Instagram post.
All important de𝓀cisions made by the Jharkhand cricketer have been mystical over the years. Dhoni also shocked one and all with his decision to quit red-ball cricket amid an ongoing Test series against Australia in 💙2014.
Despite several speculations floating around in the public sphere regarding Dhoni’s imminent retirement from international cricket, the neܫws has surprised everyone.
More so for the ardent MSD fans, who have a lump in their throat while paying tribute to their idol. In a utopian world, 𓆏Dhoni should have hung up his boots on the field, while playing his farewell match. Even former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar also expressed his displeasure regarding how Dhoni chose to retire from the game.
His stature in Indian cricket is close to ‘Master Blaster’ Sachin Tendulkar, who played his farewell match against West Indies, at his home ground at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Now, Jharkhand Chief Minister,꧙ Hemant Soren, has requested BCCI to host a farewell game for D🦹honi at his home ground in Ranchi.
“I wish to appeal to BCCI to hold a farewell match for MS Dhoni which will be hosted by all of Jharkhand and witnessed by 🧜the whole world,” Soren took to Twitter to🏅 register his opinion.
“Mahi, who gave the country and Jharkhand several moments to remember, has retired from international cricket today. We won’t be able to watch our favourite son of Jharkhand inꦬ the blue jersey any more. But the hearts of the countrymen are not full yet. I want Mahi to play a farewell match in Ranchi,” he added.
देश 𒀰और झारखण्ड को गर्व और उत्साह के अनेक क्षण देने वाले माही ने आज अंतराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट से सन्यास ल𒆙े लिया है।हम सबके चहेते झारखण्ड का लाल माही को नीली जर्सी पहने नहीं देख पायेंगे।पर देशवासियों का दिल अभी भरा नहीं। मैं मानता हूँ हमारे माही का एक फ़ेयरवेल मैच राँची में हो जिसका 1/2
