MS Dhoni wife: Sakshi Dhoni calls people mentally unstable over MS Dhoni retirement rumours
After MS Dhoni retirement news making rounds on social media, Sakshi Dhoni came out defending her husband and shutting down all the false claims about his retirement. Lashing out at people who spread false rumours, Sakshi asked them to get a life and said that it might have possibly been the effect of the lockdown on people to make the hashtag trend.
This is not the first time that Dhoni's retirement rumours have set twitter abuzz as earlier in September 2019, India skipper Virat Kohli had shared a picture of a moment from the semi-finals of the 2016 World T20 with MS Dhoni and himself, giving rise to speculations of MS Dhoni's retirement. Former chief selector MSK Prasad had quashed all the rumours over MS Dhoni's retirement talks and said that the BCCI did not have any knowledge about MS Dhoni's plans back then.
As far as Dhoni's international future is concerned, fans and experts are divided in terms of opinion. While many are backing Dhoni to make a comeback in the national team for the T20 World Cup, there are some who believe that the 2011 World Cup-winning Indian skipper has already played his last game for the country.
CSK fans await MS Dhoni's return
With the IPL 2020 being postponed due to COVID-19, CSK fans will have to wait to watch MS Dhoni don the yellow jersey and lead the side on the field. MS Dhoni has made CSK one of the most successful franchisee taking the side to IPL playoffs in every season. Dhoni has also led CSK to three IPL titles, making them the second most successful IPL team behind Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians.
