On Wednesday, MS Dhoni’s retirement once again became the talk of the town as #DhoniRetires started trending on Twitter. However, as a reaction to it, his wife Sakshi took to the micro-blogging site to clear the air and said that the lockdown had made people “mentally unstable”.
Tweeting about the same, Sakshi wrote: “It’s only rumours ! I understand Lockdown has made people mentally unstable ! #DhoniRetires Get a life.” Soon after her tweet went viral on social media, she deleted it. After Sakshi’s statement, the trend on Twitter changed from #DhoniRetires to #DhoniNeverRetires as fans came in support of the former Indian skipper.
Talking about the same, another fan tweeted: “Sakshi Singh Dhoni Mam finishes off in her husband’s style. Absolutely magnificent shot. #DhoniNeverRetires @SaakshiSRawat.”

Recently, veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said that according to him MS Dhoni has played his last match for India. He said, “As far as I know him, he won’t want to wear India blue jersey again. IPL he will play but for India, I think he had decided World Cup (2019) was his last.”
