IPL 10: Celebrity quotes on masterly finish by MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni is arguably the most popular name in the Indian cricket circuit at the moment. He has been a great servant of the game. Despite this fact, there has been a lot of questions hovering over his future in the game. Many believe that it is the end of the road for Dhoni in his career. There have been growing concerns over his form and place in the playing lineup of the team.

The recent performances of MS Dhoni for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL 10 were not up to the mark. This was one of the reasons why the claims of all the critics got strengthened. Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly also questioned Dhoni’s place in the shortest format of the game. He doubted the credibility of MS in T20 format. In fact, even the brother of the team owner of RPS had been taking digs at the former skipper.

Now, the wise old man has answered all claims in the most fitting way. He made his willow do the talking. Dhoni led Rising Pune Supergiant to their second home win this season against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He came in to bat at number 4 after the dismissal of Steve Smith. 89 runs were still needed to be chased and Dhoni showed class and temperament to guide the team to a 4 wicket win.

He saw the wickets tumble from the other end but ensured that he played the anchor role. With 2 runs needed off the last ball, Dhoni finished things off in style with a boundary through the covers. He remained unbeaten on 61 off just 34 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes to his name in the match.

The social media went gaga over his superlative knock on the day and tweets came in flooding on the day. The celebrities – be it the cricketers or the businessmen or the Bollywood stars – all had their words of praises for MS Dhoni.
