End of an era that is what everyone is referring on MS Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket. A journey which lasted 16 years has bought unparalleled success to Indian cricket from World Cups to number one team in the world. It has it all.

The 39-year-old aka ‘Captain Cool’ made his decision public on Saturday via Instagram post which reads: “Thanks. Thanks a lot for your love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs today, consider me as retired.”

Dhoni quit Test cricket in 2014 and has not played a limited-overs match for the Men in Blue since taking a break after the team’s semi-final exit at the 2019 World Cup.

As captain, Dhoni led India to the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup title in 2007 and he repeated the feat at the 50-overs World Cup on home soil in 2011. Two years later in 2013, he lifted ICC Champions trophy in England, completing his trophy cabin.

Following his retirement, #MSDhoni became number one trend worldwide flooded with messages and tributes.
