'Enjoyed lifting 2007 and 2011 WC trophies together' - Yuvraj Singh recalls his many memories with MS Dhoni
Yuvraj, on 10th June last year, had also announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
Former India skipper MS Dhoni announced his decision to retire from international cricket through an Instagram post on Saturday. With the song ‘Mai pal do pal ka shayar hoon’, Dhoni signed off in style. The video depicted his international journey with the Indian cricket team.
In a career spanning over 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is, Dhoni scored more than 15,000 international runs. Apart from proving his worth in batting and wicketkeeping, ‘Mahi’ etched his name as one of the most successful skippers of India.
While Dhoni gave many iconic moments to Indian cricket, no fan can forget the sight of Dhoni smashing the 2011 World Cup-winning six off Nuwan Kulasekara at the Wankhede. Yuvraj, who was at the non-striker’s end, was ecstatic at that moment, along with millions of fans.
On the contrary, Dhoni was at the non-striker’s end when Yuvraj smoked Stuart Broad for 6 sixes in an over in the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa. Yuvraj and Dhoni, on and off the field, have reminisced many victorious moments together. Both players had played an instrumental role in the two showpiece events.
