No one like you: Bollywood celebs pay tribute to MS Dhoni

New Delhi, Jan 6: Popular Bollywood celebrities like Salim Khan, Shekhar Kapur, Anupam Kher and Sushant Singh Rajput have saluted cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhonis contribution to the game after he stepped down as the skipper of India’s One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International sides.

Dhoni stumped all on Wednesday when he informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he is stepping down as the skipper.

The 35-year-old had already retired from Test cricket in December 2014 but continued to lead the national team in the shorter formats of the game. A glimpse of both his personal and professional life can be seen in his 2016 biopic “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story”, in which Sushant was seen as Dhoni.
