However, with so little information out there, it was difficult not to research each item that MSD made public. So, we got about decoding the song that accompanied MSD’s retirement video, and the result, we feel, is matching with what Dhoni is trying to say.

Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon

A song from the 1976 film Kabhie Kabhie, Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon features Amitabh Bachchan. The first paragraph of this song means that ‘I have come for a day or two, and my time would not last forever’. It resembles close to the situation that MSD might be experiencing now.

Further, the singer says that he is a story of a moment in time, and there have been individuals who have been part of this moment before. The song says that there have been better people before, and there will better ones in the future. Further, it says that although we might get separated tomorrow, for now, we are together.

Well, the wordings seem very close to Dhoni’s career in the team. Maybe, this was what the legend was trying to say to his admirers.
