Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren has appealed to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to hold a farewell match for MS Dhoni– India’s only cricketer to have won two world cup titles as captain of the team—who announced his retirement from international cricket on the 74th Independence Day today.
Dhoni’s announcement has ended speculations on his international career including a possible bid to make a claim for a place in the squad for the next Twenty20 World Cup tournament.
“I wish to appeal to BCCI to hold a farewell match for MS Dhoni which will be hosted by all of Jharkhand and witnessed by the whole world,” Soren tweeted reacting to Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket.Dhoni is a resident of Ranchi, Jharkhand’s capital, and has played in front of his home crowd in a couple of International matches held at Ranchi’s newly constructed cricket stadium.
Soren said Indians would love to see Jharkhand’s son in action again
