    Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the most decorated Indian cricket captain, was last seen with a cricket bat during India's shock semi-final exit against New Zealand in the ICC World Cup last year. A fiercely private person, 'Mahi,' as he is popular as, never betrayed any emotions on social media at the tragic death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who performed Dhoni's role to perfection in his biopic 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story.' However, his close knit group of friends, including manager Arun Pandey said Dhoni was 'devastated' at the news. Image Credit: Twitter
