As soon as the news of the retirement of India’s greatest skipper ‘ Captain Cool ‘ Mahendra Singh Dhoni came in, wishes poured in from all . Hailing his spectacular career and his immense contribution to Indian cricket. It was MSD alone who single- handedly put Jharkahnd on the cricket map with his phenomenal career.
Host of cricket players past and present wished Mahi and lauded his achievements.
Sourav Ganguly, BCCI president
It is the end of an era. What a player he (MS Dhoni) has been for the country & world cricket. His leadership qualities have been something, which will be hard to match, especially in the shorter format of the game. His (MS Dhoni) batting in one-day cricket in his early stages made the world stand up and notice his flair and sheer natural brilliance. Every good thing comes to an end and this has been an absolutely brilliant one. He has set the standards for the wicketkeepers to come and make a mark for the country. He will finish with no regrets on the field. An outstanding career; I wish him the best in life.
Virat Kohli, Indian cricket Captain
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

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.
