While the news stunned everyone, there were many who were left wondering for the reason why he retired at exactly 7:29 PM IST.
Was it any special occasion for him or some mahurat or anything? These were the questions that arose in everyone’s minds. However, as we think deeply about this, the reason why he took retirement at exactly 7:29 was that MS Dhoni walked away from the field for the last time during the semi-final of the World Cup 2019 at exactly 7:29 PM IST last year.
