Talking about his retirement decision, the senior actor tweeted: "It literally takes balls to retire on the same day as @msdhoni (MS Dhoni)."
Dearest @ImRaina !! You have played your role on and off the cricket fields like a true gentleman. It literally takes balls to retire on the same day as @msdhoni. But that is how you have played the game too. Quietly, strongly and with total confidence!!
