After playing international cricket for quite a long time and enthralling the fan with their swashbuckling shots, MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina both announced retirement a while ago on social media. Needless to say, the fans were in a quite a rude shock as they wanted both the batsmen to play for the last time donning the Indian colours. They started pouring tweets on social media as the two stalwarts hung up their boots from international cricket. Needless to say that even the IPL franchises including Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and others have reacted to the same. MS Dhoni Announces Retirement: Fans Urge BCCI to Hold Farewell Game For Former Indian Skipper.

The IPL franchises hailed the two on social media by posting tweets.

What Ganguly was to Yuvraj, Sehwag, Zaheer and Co. MS Dhoni was to Virat, Rohit, Raina and Co. A champion leader, a man who commanded respect, redefined ‘edge of the seat’ thrillers and brought joy to millions of cricket lovers! Well played, @mahi7781. Happy retirement from International Cricket. #PlayBold #MSDhoni #DhoniRetires
