As I see the love pouring for M.S Dhoni, all I can think of is Sush's commitment towards his portrayal of the cricketer. He gave his all as he knew the importance of his role in the biopic & to top it off, his performance was astounding! Love the reel Dhoni #GlobalPrayersForSSR pic.twitter.com/ZfHkWPcgeA

My admiration for MS Dhoni, which was already at its peak, is higher today after he included the footage of people burning his posters from 2007 & the run-out from CWC19 in his farewell video. Like I have always said, यह बंदा सबसे अलग है |
