MS Dhoni showered with love on Twitter, 'Dhoni We Need You' trends ahead of Ind vs Aus ODI
MS Dhoni's central contract with the BCCI was not renewed for the majority of 2020. This development has had his fans worried about his Team India future.
Former India captain MS Dhoni's retirement has been highly speculated on since the legendary wicketkeeper-batsman took a break from cricket after India's loss to New Zealand in the 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final. Yesterday, speculation and rumours started spreading again as Dhoni's name was missing from the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) annual central contract list. While the exclusion was more technical and does not imply that Dhoni's career is over, fans have been worried about their favourite cricketer's future. So much so, that #DhoniWeNeedYou has been trending on Twitter since Friday morning.
