The official England Cricket Instagram account shared a picture of a restaurant window that read, “Thank you England for cricket. Thank you cricket for MS Dhoni.”
The simple yet powerful message was displayed outside a local restaurant, and it has since gone viral on social media. Shared during the Test match, the gesture stood out for its heartfelt appreciation of England’s historical role in inventing cricket, and the immense legacy of MS Dhoni, one of the game's most iconic figures.
The image was uploaded by England Cricket’s Instagram account, capturing the hearts of fans from both nations. Though Dhoni is not part of the current Indian squad, his presence clearly continues to resonate globally, even during a Test match he isn't playing in.
