Two-time World Cup winning former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from international cricket on Saturday, ending over one year of suspense. He shared a video on his Instagram with a caption, "Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. from 1929hrs consider me as retired." The announcement came a day after he joined his Chennai Super kings teammates in Chennai ahead of this year's IPL in the UAE. This news came as a surprise to everyone. Fans and other celebs took to Twitter to express their thoughts on Dhoni's retirement.

To have a player like him,Mission Impossible. Na Koi Hai,Na Koi Tha, Na Koi Hoga MS ke jaisa. Players will come & go but there won’t be a calmer man like him. Dhoni with his connect with people having aspirations was like a family member to many cricket lovers. Om Finishaya Namah pic.twitter.com/glemkBUwWT

Always Carefree...never careless. Understood the importance of ‘moments’ but never got overawed by them. Redefined wicket keeping....mastered the art of finishing. An end of an era. MSD, one of the finest the world has seen. Or will ever see. Go well 🙌🙏 #MSDhoni

Congratulations @msdhoni on an incredible career. T20, ODI WC 🏆 winning captain and took India to No 1 Test team in the world. A man who grafted hard to get to the top and proceeded to keep us on the edge of our seats. #MSDhoni

Your contribution to Indian cricket has been immense, @msdhoni. Winning the 2011 World Cup together has been the best moment of my life. Wishing you and your family all the very best for your 2nd innings. pic.twitter.com/5lRYyPFXcp
