Former Indian captain MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday htrough instagram post. His journey has been phenomenal. In international cricket 23-year-old Mahendra Singh Dhoni debut in 2004. Dhoni had fallen for a first ball duck in Chittagong in this match, and in the cruellest of manner -- run out. For much of the next decade-and-a-half, Dhoni subjected rivals to such agonies -- from behind the stumps, with the bat, and as a shrewd captain of a highly successful team. His fairytale rise from India's cricketing backwaters of Jharkhand sounds like a storyline straight out of a Bollywood script. In reality, it's the other way round. Known for his fondness for bikes and military fatigue, Dhoni's stellar career inspired a 2016 biopic "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story" which was a roaring box office success.
