Dhoni has announced his retirement. Itna dukh toh Covid ne 6 mahine mein nahi diya jitna ek second mein Dhoni ne de diya.

Two of the finest.
M S Dhoni exemplified everything right with India – confident, forward looking and deeply loyal to a cause.
Suresh Raina equally effective and a loyal team man.
Both have left cricket at a far better place than they inherited.
Thanks #Dhoni and #Raina. pic.twitter.com/S8GzbsGO6R— K.Annamalai (@annamalai_k) August 15, 2020
