Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket has now become the talk of the town since India crashed out of the World Cup 2019. While the veteran wicketkeeper hasn’t hinted anything about bidding adieu to the game, speculations about the same are rising with every passing day.


Meanwhile, a new bubble pooped up in the puddle that says the former Indian skipper may begin new innings in the field of Indian politics.

New agency IANS, on Friday, reported that Dhoni may enter politics after retiring from cricket. Former central minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sanjay Paswan told IANS that Dhoni can join the party and there has been a discussion on the issue for long.

“On this issue, there has been a discussion for long, although this decision will be taken only after his retirement,” he said.

“Dhoni is my friend, he is a player of world fame and there have been discussions on bringing him into the party fold,” he said.

Dhoni was one of the celebrities whom BJP chief Amit Shah visited in his “Sampark for Samarthan” programme ahead of Lok Sabha elections.

The elections in Dhoni's home state Jharkhand are scheduled to take place later this year. It is believed that Dhoni may even be the chief ministerial face of the BJP in the coming Jharkhand polls.
