M.S. Dhoni

Hello everyone,

This generation is passing through a lot and here we go with another heartbreaking news. Dhoni announced his retirement from 1929 hours of August 15, 2020.

I am neither fond of watching cricket nor I love cricket. Although I am a fan of M.S. just because of his coolness and ability to make decisions.

I admire him because of his captaincy, decision-making skill, and fitness. Under his captaincy, he made many records and lead the team to the trophies. He is the only captain who has won all the formats of cricket. His decision-making skill is outstanding. If the umpire gets confused, he takes a glance at MS. If MS says, a batsman is out, then it's definitely out.

When we talk about his fitness, it was incomparable too. At the age of 37, he ran as fast as a 25-year-old. He never tried to hide his real age. His look always said his real age and for fans, age doesn't matter. No matter how old he gets, he will have the love and support of his fans. 

Who knew that a boy from Ranchi, who could do well as a goalkeeper in football can be a king of cricket. One of his teachers recommended him to play cricket as a wicketkeeper. He woke his interest in cricket which made him the uncrowned king of cricket. 

Since World Cup 2019, Dhoni fans were expecting his news of retirement. No fan wanted this, neither do I. I wanted him to play and continue to amaze his fans with his abilities and talents. The full form of DRS is the Decision Review System. It was renamed to Dhoni Review System just because of his ability to detect the upcoming decision before the umpire can detect it.

He made India proud in cricket and in other areas as well. He was awarded India's fourth-highest civilian award Padma Shri in 2009. Later on, in 2019 he was awarded India's third highest civilian award Padma Bhushan. Also, he was awarded India's highest honor in sports achievements, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna. He was conferred with the position of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Indian territorial army in 2011. He is truly a gem and we are proud of him. 

His number 7 and coolness will always be missed by us. He will be missed on the grounds. Though fans will be waiting eagerly to see your game in IPL 2020.
