The era of Captain Cool ends silenty…Twitter bombarded by fans and admirers

In what can be seen as the end of MS Dhoni’s captainship career in Indian cricket, BCCI announces about his will to retire from ODI captainship. When every Dhoni fan was expecting MS Dhoni to lead India during the Champions Trophy later in 2017, the news has surely come as the biggest hitch for BCCI and Dhoni fans.

Dhoni made it clear that he will be available for selection of players in the upcoming series against England. He made India proud with numerous victories in his tenure including 2007 World T20 and 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Dhoni has lucratively captained for Indian cricket team in 72 T20s and 199 ODIs.

While Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s recent announcement did the rounds on January 04, 2017 (Wednesday), fans on Twitter world got active and left no corner to express their gratitude, and emotions for the Captain Cool. With twitter hashtags such as #DhoniStepsDown, #Dhoni, #Captaincool, #thankyoudhoni and #IndianCricket began trending in India.
