Anushka's husband and Indian captain Virat Kohli, who became the champion cricketer that he is under Dhoni's leadership, was left emotional reading Dhoni's retirement announcement. "Every cricketer has to end his journey one day, but still when someone you've gotten to know so closely announces that decision, you feel the emotion much more. What you've done for the country will always remain in everyone's heart, but 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," wrote Kohli on Twitter.

Dhoni, who is considered to be one of the best finishers of the limited-overs game, has amassed 10773 runs including 73 fifties and 10 centuries at an average of 50.57 in the 350 ODIs.
