Mahendra Singh Dhoni Retires From Test Cricket!

With Dhoni's retirement. Ishant Sharma is now the most experienced player in the team. Scary!

It was the right decision. Excellent move, considering the fact that it now gives Virat to hone his captaincy skills at home for the next two years.

Just that the badava could have told earlier & played that Sydney test & retired a lot better. He decides not to tell the BCCI about his decision. As usual, he prefers to be the Dark Knight.

So typical of the man, shying away from the limelight. A lot like Rahul Dravid. Not even a guard of honour in his final test.

Recent (last 1-2 years) 0-4, 0-4, 0-2 losses against England and Australia spoiled his Win-Loss record.

Otherwise could have been 27 wins and 9 to 12 losses only.

There is a lot of BS in the media about the timing of retirement. The public will never even know what truly happened . You got a respect a man who simply doesn't care.

I believe he will retire in other formats in a similar manner maybe ODIs first then the IPL. No fuzz just exit .Truly a great gentleman a great cricketer.

I think he decided to retire because it makes no sense for a movie based on his career if his career is still not over.

We would find out the real reason about his retirement in the movie. That would be the climax of the movie and the selling point.

He had said in 2011 itself that he doesnt see himself playing all formats after 2013. So he actually extended a year. The timing is surprising though. A home series later or atleast after the World Cup he could have announced (even though retiring n Tests).

I dont think he was a good Test captain or player. He was average, but we need to remember, others who were there before him or got chances during his breaks or alongside him did not really set the pitch on fire either.
