On Twitter, Dhoni is bid goodbye with tears and laughter

The retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the ODI and T20I captain of the Indian Cricket Team has definitely marked the end of an era; an era of World Cup victories, stellar performances and genuinely historic moments in the world of Cricket. And while Dhoni may have a lot to look forward to post-retirement, his fans will forever remember the tenacious captain who brought India victory after victory, while being an exemplary team-player!

The coolest captain to have led the Indian Cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s legacy has been immortalised in several beautiful moments in the game and a rather commercially successful biopic. But the game of cricket, especially Indian ODIs, will never be the same without the man who created the “helicopter shot”.

Through humour, through admiration, and through just plain sadness, Dhoni’s fans on Twitter bid him adieu.
