No one like you: B-Town to 'Captain Cool' Dhoni

Popular Bollywood celebrities like Salim Khan, Shekhar Kapur, Anupam Kher and Sushant Singh Rajput have saluted cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhonis contribution to the game after he stepped down as the skipper of India's One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International sides. Dhoni stumped all on Wednesday when he informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he is stepping down as the skipper. The 35-year-old had already retired from Test cricket in December 2014 but continued to lead the national team in the shorter formats of the game. A glimpse of both his personal and professional life can be seen in his 2016 biopic "M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story", in which Sushant was seen as Dhoni. After Dhoni's announcement, various Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to applaud his captaincy. Here's what these celebs have tweeted: Salim Khan: Sushant Singh Rajput: Shekhar Kapur: Arjun Rampal: M.S. Dhoni one of the world's finest cricketers, with the sharpest captaining skills and mind. You have many more games in you. Please don't go. Dhoni. Riteish Deshmukh: Randeep Hooda: Anupam Kher: Thank you M.S. Dhoni for making us feel euphoric and proud all these years. It was not only winnings but u also defined attitude for Indian cricket. Saqib Saleem: M. S. Dhoni steps down as captain but not as a player. still tons of cricket left in him! We love you Mahi! Keep playing!
