Twitter gets flooded on 2nd anniversary of MS Dhoni's heartbreaking run out during 2019 WC semifinal

Former Indian legendary skipper MS Dhoni took retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020, and his fans and the cricketing world came to a standstill. He played his last international game for India during the semi-final match between India and New Zealand during the 2019 World Cup. However, the way he got ran out in the same game broke the heart of millions of fans.

Dhoni’s innings ended in a heartbreaking run out as he gathered 50 off 72 balls and everyone thought that had Dhoni remained on the field for a longer period, he would have taken Indian home. Virat Kohli and his men fell short of 18 runs and the fateful day has its second anniversary today. It was only 10^th July that MS Dhoni played the last game for India.

He went on a sabbatical after this particular game and only returned for the 2020 Indian Premier League which took place in the UAE. He announced his retirement there only and was joined by his India and CSK teammate Suresh Raina in the decision. Raina also announced his decision to retire there and broke the news through social media.

It was expected that MSD would play the next T20 WC with India which was earlier scheduled for 2020 but as the pandemic wreaked its havoc, the tournament got shifted to 2021. Dhoni didn’t wait for long and announced his abrupt retirement and this is why he couldn’t even get a proper farewell match.  As the day happened two years back, Twitter can’t keep calm.

Here is how Twitter reacted to MS Dhoni’s run out of WC 2019 after two years

It seems i have now watched the dhoni run-out pic more times than the dhoni six pic of 2011

I'll be dead honest.. I lost all hope after Jadeja's dismissal. I always knew at the back of my mind that Dhoni can't pull this off.. had it been the younger version of him, we would have won easily.. but not this Dhoni. We were never winning this.. but his run out did hurt. https://t.co/7z9X9w4JPC

MS Dhoni in last two World Cup Semifinals:

2015 : Run out after scoring 65, vs AUS
2019 : Run out after scoring 50, vs NZ

These were the only two occasions when MS Dhoni got run-out in World Cup matches.#OnThisDay #MSDhoni

On this day in 2019 , MS played his last odi in international cricket. Unfortunately , India lost the semi final vs NZ .
Dhoni started his incredible carreer with run out and unfortunately his career also ended with the run out.#Dhoni #Cricket

I remember today's day
We were in CS classes at somewhat 7 pm when India choked up and All our hope was on Dhoni. And The moment he got run out , we were so sad that none of Us could even concentrate on Company Law and sir was like its game it happens it's life. 💔

MS Dhoni will next be seen in the UAE leg of IPL 2021

The Ranchi Stalwart still plays for Chennai Super Kings in IPL and will continue to lead the side in the UAE leg of the IPL 2021. It has to be noted that many expected that this would be his last season with Chennai in the Indian T20 league. However, only a few days back CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan announced that Dhoni may stay with his yellow army for another one or two years.
