<p>Former Indian Skipper M S Dhoni <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/sports/cricket/ms-dhoni-announces-retirement-from-international-cricket-873724.html" target="_blank">announced his retirement</a> from international cricket in a recent Instagram post. Known for his cool-headedness on the field and ability to lead a team to victory by smashing sixes, he's won the hearts of many cricket fans with his lines. </p>.<p>Here's a few of them:</p>.<p>1. "I believe in giving more than 100 per cent on the field, and I don't really worry about the result. If there's great commitment on the field, that's victory for me," said Dhoni into his captaincy in 2008. </p>.<p>2. “Frankly, I never thought I would represent my country one day. Now I'm leading my country, so it's like a fairytale. I never thought I'd do these things. I lived in the moment, I kept working hard,” said the cricketer in 2011.</p>.<p>3. “Self-confidence has always been one of my good qualities. I am always very confident. It is in my nature to be confident, to be aggressive. And it applies in my batting as well as wicketkeeping,” said the then 24-year-old who counted Adam Gilchrist as an idol.</p>.<p>4. "I love being in the present. When I was playing for school, the only thing I wanted was to get selected for U-16 or U-19 district teams. When I was selected for the district I would think of the next level, getting selected for state side. I'm a person who lives in the moment," upon being asked about his future plans regarding the 2015 World cup. </p>.<p>5. “What needs to be done at the moment is more important than any of these emotions,” said the ever-pragmatic cricketer, famous for his ability to face pressure with grace. </p>.<p>In addition to these wisdom-packed lines, the fun-side of 'Mr Captain Cool' can be seen on his social media accounts. Here's a few tweets that bear witness to Dhoni's wit and humour:</p>
