I join millions of cricket fans across the globe to thank @msdhoni for his unparalleled contributions to Indian Cricket. His cool temperament has turned several hot encounters in India’s favour. Under his captaincy India was crowned World Champions twice in different formats.

So sorry to hear that #msdhoni retired half an hour ago. A true giant of the game, India’s finest wicketkeeper-batsman & a transformative captain, he left a stamp on Indian cricket that defined an era. March on, Dhoniji. There will be other peaks to climb. https://t.co/Y4r8FBCO92

I have had a long association with the game of Cricket and in appointing M S Dhoni as captain we were sure he would be one of India’s most successful captains.
His contribution to cricket is unique and inspiring, and his record exemplary. My good wishes will always be with him. pic.twitter.com/RoyKr4Lhv0— Sharad Pawar (@PawarSpeaks) August 15, 2020
