He further goes on to say that Dhoni is the illustration of the spirit of New India, inspiring several people who have not been to ‘cushy’ schools but have the talent to distinguish themselves. “Where we come from does not matter as long as we know where we are headed,” the PM wrote. He also praised Dhoni for his association with the Indian armed forces.

“No matter what hairstyle you sported, your calm head remained the same in victory or defeat,” which the PM says is a very important lesson for Indian youth. He also especially mentioned Dhoni’s ability to balance his personal and professional lives. He ended the letter wishing the former captain well, recalling a moment when he celebrated with his daughter while the others were celebrating on field.
