How do you connect this place with
recently retired Indian cricketer MS Dhoni?

11. On 15th August, 2020 MS Dhoni posted a video on Instagram, featuring his career
highlights, set to the tune of Mukesh’s famous song ‘Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar’.
Accompanying the video was a short text: “Thanks a lot for your love and support
throughout. From 1929 hrs. me as retired.” The time format is a subtle nod to Dhonis’s
love for the armed forces, but the time itself-7.29 pm-might seem random to most.
According to sources close to MS Dhoni, he chose the time as it was the time of the last
sunset in India on August 15, 2020. The westernmost part of India- Guhar Moti
(alternatively spelt Ghuar Mota) in Gujarat-sees the last sunset in India. On 15th August
the sun set there at 7:29 pm. MS wanted to draw the parallel of walking off into the sunset.
