Former Team India skipper MS Dhoni has hinted that he has retired from international cricket through a social media post on Saturday (August 15).
Dhoni took to Instagram and shared a video with a caption: “Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout.from 1929 hrs consider me as Retired”
The decision to retire from international cricket has brought to an end a glorious chapter in Indian history. MS Dhoni is the most decorated captain and wicketkeeper-batsman in the history of Indian cricket. He is also one of the all-time greats when it comes to captaincy and wicketkeeper-batsman.
The World Cup-winning captain is the third in the list of most dismissals as wicketkeeper. Apart from Mark Boucher and Adam Gilchrist, he is the only wicketkeeper to have more than 800 dismissals in international cricket.
With the bat, he is one of the very players in the history of the game who have scored more than 10,000 runs in ODIs. In Tests, he has scored nearly 5,000 runs while in T20Is, he has more than 1,600 runs.
His captaincy record is even better. He led India to glory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions trophy. Under him, India rose to the pinnacle of Test cricket for the first time and registered numerous memorable series wins.
