Mahendra Singh Dhoni announced retirement from international cricket
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, put an end to his international career. Dhoni retires as India’s most successful captain in limited-over internationals, having won three ICC trophies - 2007 T20 World Cup, 50-over World Cup in 2011 and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy - the only captain to do so.
Dhoni, 39, made the confirmation through a video
on Instagram, its caption reading: “Thanks – Thanks a lot for ur love
and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired.” The announcement means that Dhoni’s last India game would remain the
semifinal of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in which India lost to New
Zealand by 18 runs. It was his 350th ODI, in which he scored 50 off 72
balls before being run-out by a bullet throw from Martin Guptill in the
deep. Incidentally, Dhoni was run-out in his first ODI as well
Having retired from Test cricket in December of 2014 with 4876 runs from
90 matches, Dhoni carried on playing ODIs and T20Is. With 10,733 runs,
Dhoni is fifth in the list of India’s all-time run-scorers in ODI behind
Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. His
overall Indian numbers are staggering: 538 matches, 17,266 runs, 16
centuries, 108 fifties, 359 sixes, 829 dismissals.
However, right now MS Dhoni will be seen playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since Dhoni's decision to retire, the market of speculation has heated up what Dhoni will do next. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has offered him to contest the Lok Sabha elections. At the same time, there has been a discussion earlier that Dhoni can take the stand of the film industry.
In fact, in August 2019, a report about this was published in Bollywood Hungama. In it, it has been claimed by sources that MS Dhoni will soon be making strides in the film industry. Dhoni can enter the industry not as an actor but as a producer. Dhoni has been working on some projects in which he wants to collaborate with corporate houses in the film industry.
The source told Bollywood Hungama that Dhoni has always been interested in films. When Neeraj Pandey made the biopic MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, the Superstar cricketer got a close look at the entertainment industry. Dhoni loved it. He was just waiting for a suitable time for this. However, since this discussion, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has not made any official announcement on this so far.
Let me tell you that earlier this Neeraj Pandey did M.S. Directed a film titled Dhoni: The Untold Story. The film is based on the real life of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. In this, Dhoni's character was played by the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The film was a success at the box office. Now it is to see whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni tries his hand in the film industry or not?
