MS Dhoni Turns Producer With Wife, Sakshi For A Mythical Web Series Based On An Unpublished Book

Just before the great war, sitting on the edge of the cliff, smoking and looking over the village, the wizard, Gandolf had said to Bilbo Baggins, "Always remember this day, my friend." For that was the last time they were seeing each other. Why have we given a Lord Of The Rings reference here? Well, on July 9, 2019, when Dhoni had missed out by half an inch and was given run out in the WorldCup 2019 semifinals, every MSDian had felt that line ringing in their ears as they had seen Mahi walking back to the pavilion. For everyone knew that this was probably the last time we were watching Dhoni in blue jersey!
