Former Indian Cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni announced his retirement from International cricket yesterday. He shared an emotional video on his Instagram and updated everyone about his retirement. The entire cricketing world is overwhelmed and has been talking about MS Dhoni’s achievements and why is so special on and off the field. BCCI President and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said - "What a player he has been for the country and world cricket. His leadership qualities have been something which will be hard to match, especially in the shorter format of the game. His 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."
