India’s veteran wicketkeeper-batsman, MS Dhoni,🐻 drew curtains ꦅto his glittering career on Saturday, with an Instagram post.
All impꩵortant decisions 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 news has surprised everyonꦺe.
More so for the ardent MSD fans, who h❀ave a lump in their throat while paying tribute to their idol. In a utopian world, Dhoni should have hung up his boots on the field, while playing his farewell match. Even former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar also expressed his di🎀spleasure 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, Hemant🐭 Soren, has requested BCCI to host ꦜa farewell game for Dhoni 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♌ w𝓡hole world,” Soren took to Twitter to register his opinion.
“Mahi, who gave the country and Jharkhand several moments to remember, has retired from international c💮ricket today. Wꩲe won’t be able to watch our favourite son of Jharkhand in 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 और झारखण्ड को गर्व और उत्साह के अनेक क्षण देने वाले माही ने आज अंतराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट से सन्यास ले 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 माꦬही का एक फ़ेयरवेल म𝔍ैच राँची में हो जिसका 1/2
