MS Dhoni’s retirement once again became the talk of the town as late on Wednesday, #DhoniRetires started trending on Twitter. MS Dhoni’s wife Sakshi took to the micro-blogging site to clear the air and said that the lockdown had made people “mentally unstable”.
“It’s only rumors! I understand Lockdown has made people mentally unstable ! #DhoniRetires Get a life,” Sakshi tweeted. Soon after her tweet went viral on social media, Sakshi deleted it. After Sakshi’s statement, the trend on Twitter changed from #DhoniRetires to #DhoniNeverRetires as fans came in support of the former India captain.
“Waking up to see #DhoniNeverTires trending He never tires and will be back soon,” a fan said.”Sakshi Singh Dhoni Mam finishes off in her husband’s style. Absolutely magnificent shot. #DhoniNeverRetires @SaakshiSRawat,” another fan said.
“There are many cricketers but my favorite cricketer is dhoni no one replaces his position in my heart. #DhoniNeverTires,” another one joined in.
Recently, veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said that according to him MS Dhoni has played his last match for India.
“As far as I know him, he won’t want to wear India blue jersey again. IPL he will play but for India, I think he had decided World Cup (2019) was his last,” Harbhajan said.
Dhoni has not played competitive cricket since India’s semi-final loss to New Zealand in the World Cup 2019.
The former India captain was set to lead Chennai Super Kings in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) but the Board of Control for Cricket in India postponed the lucrative league indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
