Twitter reacts as Dhoni steps down as India's limited overs captain
India's most successful limited-overs captain MS Dhoni stepped down as the limited-overs captain early this evening. Twitter was in complete shock as soon as they heard that Dhoni stepped down as captain creating a storm of emotional tweets from many fans and here is a list of few of them.
MS Dhoni has stepped down as captain of India's limited-overs teams ahead of the ODIs and T20Is against England. Dhoni will still be available for selection as a wicketkeeper-batsman for the series though, the BCCI said on Wednesday evening and added that the same has been conveyed to the Senior Selection Committee.
"Mahendra Singh Dhoni has informed the BCCI, that he wishes to step down as the captain of the Indian Cricket Team from the One Day Internationals and the T20 Internationals formats of the game," BCCI said in a release.
Dhoni remains the only captain to have won the World Cup across both the formats - winning the World T20 in 2007 and the ICC World Cup in 2011. Under him, India had won the Champions Trophy in 2013 as well. He also has the record for captaining a team in the most number of international matches - 331 games across the three formats.
Can we get anyone who can perform better than this?

199 - MS Dhoni
The captain who played for the team!
Giving up captaincy for team's future is a small sacrifice for a man who has come late in batting order for his entire career for the team.

Trying to think like #Dhoni. Kohli most likely 2019 World Cup captain, so best that he leads in the Champions Trophy so best he starts now.
