“Namaskar MS Dhoni ji. Aaj Kal main sun rahi hun ke Aap retire hona chahte hain.Kripaya aap aisa mat sochiye.Desh ko aap ke khel ki zaroorat hai aur ye meri bhi request hai ki Retirement ka vichar bhi aap mann mein mat laayiye.@msdhoni” [I am hearing that you want to retire. Please don’t think like that. The country needs you. I request you to not entertain thoughts of retirement.],” read the tweet.
Regarding the news of his retirement, captain of the team Virat Kohli revealed during a media interaction: “MS Dhoni has not told us anything about retirement.”
