Will MS Dhoni make a political plunge?

Former India captain, MS Dhoni, thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday for praising him for his contribution towards Indian cricket.

Hailing the cricket legend for his achievements on the cricket field and everything he has done for the sport in India and the world, PM Modi posted a lengthy and emotional message for Dhoni, who retired from international cricket on August 15 after a decorated 16-year career.

"In your trademark unassuming style you shared a video that was enough to become a passionate discussion point for entire nation. 130 Cr Indians were disappointed but also eternally grateful for all that you have done for Indian cricket," PM Modi wrote in a two-page long letter.

Dhoni responded by thanking the Prime Minister for his kind words. "An Artist, Soldier and Sportsperson what they crave for is appreciation, that their hard work and sacrifice is getting noticed and appreciated by everyone.thanks PM @narendramodi for your appreciation and good wishes," Dhoni tweeted.
