MS Dhoni, who decided to hang his boots from international cricket through an Instagram post on Saturday, received a special message from former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj, who has had numerous match-winning partnerships with Dhoni, took to social media to post a video featuring glimpses of the time the duo spent on the field while helping the country to win games and congratulated the former India captain for a great international career.
While praising Dhoni for his contribution to the Indian cricket, Yuvraj reminisced lifting two World Cup trophies; T20 World Cup in 2007 and the 50-over World Cup in 2011. Captioning the video on Instagram, he wrote: “Congratulations @mahi7781 on a great career! Enjoyed lifting the 2007 and 2011 WC trophies together for our country and our many partnerships on the field. My best wishes to you for the future.”
