Congrats @msdhoni on a brilliant international career. I loved and enjoyed every contest we had as players and now I still have to find ways to stop you winning games against the @DelhiCapitals. Look forward to saying it in person in a few weeks time. pic.twitter.com/R34XMtha0h

In this game, we have seen great captains that lead from the front & win on the big stage, seen tough Test batsmen, seen excellent keepers, seen great finishers, but one man doing all of this? Unlikely to see that again. There won’t be another Dhoni.#DhoniRetires

One of the most influential man in the history of Indian cricketHis impact in & around cricket was massive. He was a man with vision and a master in knowing how to build a team. Will surely miss him in blue but we have him in yellow.
See you on 19th at the toss @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/kR0Lt1QdhG

To have a player like him,Mission Impossible. Na Koi Hai,Na Koi Tha, Na Koi Hoga MS ke jaisa. Players will come & go but there won’t be a calmer man like him.

Congrats on a wonderful career @mahi7781 The way he remained calm under pressure & made his own unorthodox batting & wicketkeeping technique work instead of changing to fit into the 'accepted mould' was something I admired the most & tried to learn from to improve my game #MSD #Legend
Congratulations @msdhoni on a world class international career. You’ll go down in history as a phenomenal captain and a true legend of the game. Go well MSD!
