New Delhi. Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar passed away on Sunday, 6 February at the age of 92. Significantly, Lata didi was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai on January 8 due to being suffering from COVID-19 and pneumonia. Lata didi’s love for cricket was evident.
Was upset about MS Dhoni’s retirement from international cricket
His love for cricket was evident in the world. Remind you that in the semi-final of the ICC ODI World Cup-2011, he also kept fast for the victory of the Indian cricket team in the match against Pakistan (India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup, 2011). Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar was a big fan of MS Dhoni, the former captain of Team India.
Let us remind you of an incident that in the ICC ODI World Cup, 2019, when India was out of the tournament, there was speculation and rumor that Mahendra Singh Dhoni would retire from cricket. Lata didi was as if angry with this and she even made a tweet for Dhoni.
He wrote in the tweet, “Dear Dhoni ji, these days I am hearing that you want to retire from the game (International Cricket). Please don’t think about it. The country needs you and your contribution. Please don’t even bring up the idea of retiring from the game.”
Significantly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had not announced his retirement then. He respected Lata didi. Yes, after a year he said goodbye to international cricket.
