M S Dhoni is one of the greats of modern era. I understand that his retirement is a personal decision and we respect that. Mahi’ as we all fondly refer to him has had an exceptional career in international cricket. His captaincy has been both inspiring and commendable. @msdhoni

Of all the memories of #MSDhoni,this one is funny. My first tour of Zimbabwe with him . #mahi used to make prank calls to his friends in Ranchi! And, he still used to do that even when he became the legend. pic.twitter.com/yUiIHoqA8L
