MS Dhoni’s resignation as India’s limited overs captain drew a lot of reaction from former and current cricketers alike.
One of the first to react was legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar who took to Twitter to congratulate Dhoni on his career as captain and spoke about how he had seen the transformation of the Jharkhand cricketer from “an aggressive player to a steady and decisive captain”.
Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, remarked how Dhoni’s decision to make him open the batting in limited overs changed his career.
Here are all the top reactions from the cricketing fraternity.

I think @msdhoni will go down as one of India's most successful captains. He is a great man and still has a lot to offer Indian cricket.
