"An Independence Day sunset ending with a glittering career. One of the true 'Badshah' of the sport. What amazes me about MS was his calmness and his composure and handling extreme pressure and criticism. As a leader and captain, he can sit on Mount Everest with those kinds of achievements.

"Multiple World Cups, Champions Trophy, number one Test team in the world, IPL titles, Champions League, you name it and he has got it. I wish Sakshi, Ziva, MS himself, and his family all the mental peace and happiness in his retirement. Do continue to enthrall us during the IPL MS. I salute you Lieutenant Colonel MS Dhoni," Shastri said in the video.
