Bollywood star Suniel Shetty celebrated his 57th birthday on Saturday as the cricketing fraternity also wished him on the special occasion. He is an avid cricket lover and follows the game closely more often than not. Recently, he also met the former India legend Sachin Tendulkar who remembered the same while wishing the veteran actor on his birthday. However, Shetty has now picked the current Indian cricketer as his favourite and has termed him as the ‘God’.

Tendulkar is no wonder crowd favourite especially in India and he deserves all the accolades coming his way for what he has achieved for the country and himself personally. It is by no means a joke to play the game of cricket for close to 25 years and score 100 international hundreds. But the Bollywood star surprisingly hasn’t picked him as the ‘God of Cricket’.

Who is Suniel’s pick?

Suniel Shetty has termed MS Dhoni as the ‘God of Cricket’ and heaped praises on him for the way he has led the Indian team during his captaincy tenure. He also hoped that he should never retire from cricket and felt that his status will only go up even after hanging up his boots.

“I want that he should never retire from cricket. He is the God of cricket according to me and even after retirement, his stature will go up,” he was quoted as saying by Times Now at an event. He was also disappointed that Dhoni will retire soon, probably in the next year after the World Cup in England and went on to say that no captain has vision like him ever.

“It is a matter of sadness that MS Dhoni will retire in a few years. I think that he should always play for India because no captain has a vision like him. You look at thousands of captains and Dhoni will choose the right person at the right time,” Shetty added.
