‘कश्मकश ये नहीं है कि कौन सी राह पर चलूं
मंज़िल. ये कब आख़िरी होती है, इसे कैसे तय करें? शायद नहीं कर सकते क्योंकि रास्तों पर चलने वाले मंज़िलों के मोहताज होते हैं, लेकिन जो हौसलों पर सफ़र करते हैं, वो दूसरों के लिए ख़ुद एक मंज़िल बन जाते हैं. महेंन्द्र सिंह धोनी भी उनमें से ही एक हैं. एक आम शख़्स जो देखते ही देखते एक ख़ास शख़्सियत बन गया.
लेकिन कहते हैं न कि सावन कितना भी सुहावना क्यों ने हो लेकिन भादो की धूप को आने से रोक नहीं सकता. हर पल बदलती दुनिया का यही नियम है.
महेन्द्र सिंह धोनी भी इससे अछूते नहीं रहे. शनिवार को अचानक उन्होंने इंटरनेशनल क्रिकेट से संन्यास का एलान कर दिया.
यूं तो हर क्रिकेट फ़ैन इस बात से वाकिफ़ था कि धोनी आज नहीं तो कल ये फ़ैसला लेंगे, लेकिन हर भारतीय ये चाहता था कि धोनी क्रिकेट के मैदान पर अपने प्रशंसकों के बीच बल्ला लहराते हुए अलविदा कहें. लेकिन माही ने इंस्टाग्राम का सहारा लिया.
बहुत कम ऐसा होता है कि मन जज़बातों से भरा हो, लेकिन बयां करने के लिए शब्द ही न रहें. माही के फ़ैंस, दोस्त और साथी खिलाड़ी भी आज कुछ ऐसा ही महसूस कर रहे हैं. इनमें से बहुत से लोगों ने ट्विटर अपनी प्रतिक्रिया दी है.
Dhoni retires from international cricket. @BoriaMajumdar joins us with more details.

The legend retires in his own style as always, @msdhoni bhai you have given it all for the country. The champions trophy triumph, 2011 World Cup and the glorious @ChennaiIPL triumphs will always be etched in my memory. Good luck for all your future endeavours. #MSDhoni

So sorry to hear that #msdhoni retired half an hour ago. A true giant of the game, India’s finest wicketkeeper-batsman & a transformative captain, he left a stamp on Indian cricket that defined an era. March on, Dhoniji. There will be other peaks to climb. https://t.co/Y4r8FBCO92

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
