Mahendra Singh Dhoni bid goodbye to international cricket last night, leaving fans around the country feeling emotional.
The 39-year-old batsman and wicketkeeper, who led the national team and his IPL franchise to several victories, signed off with a simple message on his social media handle. Shared along with a video montage on Instagram, Dhoni, arguably India’s most successful captain in limited-overs cricket, wrote, “From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired.”
Soon social media was abuzz with his name and #DhoniRetires trending online, and tributes poured in from all quarters remembering some of his greatest contributions to Indian cricket and how he changed the game forever for many cricket enthusiasts. While they continued to rally behind him and demanded a farewell match, business brands too joined in to show their love for Dhoni.
One particular video tribute shared by dairy brand Amul struck a chord with thousands of Dhoni fans on social media, who dubbed it the “best” and “most fitting” tribute to him. The video left a lot of fans feeling nostalgic as it captured all the miletone moments in his 16-year international cricket career–from becoming the captain to winning world cups.
