MS Dhoni, the beloved former captain of the Indian national team, took retirement from all forms of international cricket yesterday.
And just like that, the entire country went into a state of despair. Despair that only gets increased by the memories of Sushant Singh Rajput, the person who brought Dhoni to life on-screen.
Brilliantly, at that. Sushant became Dhoni. He mastered the nuances and the essence of the emotion Mahi is, for India, and not for a moment let us feel like he was playing a character.
3 years of #msdhonitheuntoldstory 💥

I got up this morning and looked at myself through your eyes, and then looked back at you, with everything I understood I was.#selfmusing 💫❤️ pic.twitter.com/MM42S3r2nP
Who would have thought that a few years down the line, Sushant will be no more?! MS Dhoni: The Untold Story will always be in our hearts, though, as one of his best works, and whenever we miss seeing Mahi play on the field, it will be the first thing we switch to.
The internet also shared pictures of the two, together, on an emotionally heavy day.
The real dhoni leaves the cricket 🏏 and the reel dhoni leaves us …..💔💔 Mahi @msdhoni you will be missed in the field….and sushant @itsSSR will be missed in the world… much love to both of you ..😘😘❤️🌺#SCMonitoredCBI4SSR #DishaAndSSRCaseLinked @arnabofficial7 pic.twitter.com/VwGObVI4q1

And left a print of his face in front of Dhoni’s face. Whenever I hears Dhoni, Sushant comes in front of me 1st. I am watching your movie in loop. Baby💔 :’)#GlobalPrayersForSSR https://t.co/G3SFvS0WaG

I started respecting Dhoni more because Sushant portrayed him so beautifully.

He might’ve played a character for many of you but for me it was Sushant’s dedication, his dreams that I resonated with.
I don’t want his teachings to go in vain, I’ll hold onto them forever🦋💫🌈🌌❤️ pic.twitter.com/FV2jaguW2p

Sushant literally lived the character of Dhoni. He would have said something today for sure 💔

“Returning back to intnl side by performing good in IPL, winning World T20 final with a six and then retiring”

Could’ve been the best story for the sequel of MS Dhoni’s biopic. But neither do we have Sushant to play his role nor the story.
Life is hard. https://t.co/UgNQ1x71KD
Sushant is gone, the untold story won't be told anymore..Dhoni won't play now, no new chapters to be added to the story..

Which i didn't liked.
1. Sushant loss
2. Dhoni Retirement pic.twitter.com/efpbI96tFY
No one can play #Dhoni better than you, Sush. You lived Dhoni. The journey of Passion, Hardwork, Success, Struggle, Pain, & you both related with each other.
