That was also the final time Mahi downed upon the iconic Blue jersey for India when he got run-out, inches away from guiding his nation to another thrilling victory.

According to social media speculations, when Dhoni left the pitch for the final time for Team India, the clock showed 19:29 as well. As per the belives from fans, this is the reason why Dhoni decided to refer to that specific timeband in his retirement post.
