They were asked if India will find someone like him again who can take his place, or if there can be another Dhoni. The fans disagreed immediately and called him ‘once in a generation player’. “He is from India but I am really hurt as a Pakistani cricket fan that he has retired. Dhoni is Dhoni, no one can replace him in the Indian team,” said a fan.

“He made a name for himself, a very good cricketer who obviously India will miss a lot. India won’t find another player like him. No one can replace him. He was a very good batsman and won India a lot of matches. Don’t’ think India can get a better player than him,” added another.

The only captain to win all the ICC trophies will next be seen in the upcoming season of Indian Premier League. He will lead his favourite franchise Chennai Super Kings. The stumper has played record 9 finals out 12 seasons in the IPL and it will be interesting to see the if the magician can use his wand from behind the wicket and take CSK to an IPL trophy for the fourth time.
