"MS Dhoni really reminds me of my husband in terms of personality. It is uncanny how similar they are. They are quiet but funny. On the field, they are very cool. In many ways, Dhoni is like Shoaib.", wrote Sania.

"I think that if he wanted to make a celebration out of it, he would. I think we should give him that. I think he is a big enough star or has achieved enough, be secured enough to say, 'I am going to walk out a bit quietly and respectfully.' I think that is what makes him the Captain Cool, that's what makes him MS Dhoni because he is someone who has achieved so much not only for himself but for the country," Sania added.

Sania had earlier paid a tribute to Dhoni on Twitter on his retirement. “#DHONI what a legend you are .. one of my all-time fav athletes and personalities on and off the field .. thank you for everything you have done and good luck with the future .. it’s been an honor to be an athlete in the same era as you from the same country,” she tweeted.
