Jharkhand wants farewell match for Dhoni in Ranchi

The Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren wants a memorable farewell for Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He has urged BCCI to arrange a farewell match for Dhoni in Ranchi which will be hosted by state of Jharlhand to honour it's one of the greatest son.

It was indeed not very unexpected when the most successful captain of Indian cricket Mahendra Singh Dhoni, popularly known in his home town Ranchi as 'Mahi'  said in Instagram post  on 15th August, 2020 .“Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as retired,”  With this the speculation for the last one year whether he will continue to be  associated  with international cricket comes to an end.
The 39-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman quit Tests in 2014 and has been out of international cricket  since India's semi-final loss to New Zealand in last year's World Cup.He had stepped down from ODI captaincy in January 2017 after  having retired from Tests on December 30, 2014, in Australia. The legendary Indian captain  from Ranchi led India in 199 ODIs and 72 T20Is.

 Dhoni is the only captain to win all three major International Cricket Council  trophies — the World Cup, the World Twenty twenty and the Champions Trophy. The God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar reacted profoundly when he tweeted- "Your contribution to Indian cricket has been immense, @msdhoni. Winning the 2011 World Cup together has been the best moment of my life. Wishing you and your family all the very best for your 2nd innings."
 Dhoni has been a living example of patience , grace and humillity ! People in public life can also take  some tips of humilty and grace from Dhoni  ! Yet another legendary  Industrialist  Ratan Tata has given a very respectful comment on Dhoni-."You would always  remain a respectable  part of Indian History Dhoni  !"
What a lovely comment came from yet another great present captain   Virat Kohli — “The mutual respect and warmth I’ve received from you will always stay in mine. The world has seen achievements, I’ve seen the person. Thanks for everything skip. I tip my hat to you” .In a poetic tribute. Harsha Bhogle says “Aap har pal ke shayar hain” Achievements of  M S Dhoni has been phenomenal as he  holds the record for most international matches as captain (332). Unarguably the quickest man behind the wicket, Dhoni has 195 international stumpings, the most by any wicket-keeper in the international cricket.
