Tiwary, who left professional cricket in February 2024, was a successful domestic career player with over 100 first-class matches and over 8,000 runs. He has just transitioned to cricket administration and is now the secretary of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA).
While Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, he remains a fan favourite and moments such as this recall reasons why he's still loved, not only for his captaincy and helicopter shots, but for his humble and grounded nature off the field.
On the field, MS Dhoni-led CSK finished at the bottom of the points table in the IPL 2025 season. Even as there are increasing doubts over his fitness and age, Dhoni hasn't made a decision regarding retirement yet.
