M S Dhoni has chosen to retire from Test Cricket with immediate effect in order to concentrate on ODI and T20 formats. As expected, Twitter went crazy over the news.
Some were funny, some were quirky, while some reactions were heart warming. Here’s about all, how Twitter reacted to Dhoni’s retirement news!
