Dhoni retires from Test Cricket

[Spikey]

Think it's the right time. Kohli looks like "the man" at the moment, not just about his runs.

Yeah it makes a lotta sense, only query is the mid-series aspect but even then

 

[vic_orthdox]

Not really unhappy.

Regardless of how much I've hated his captaincy, well done MS. You've undoubtedly been immense for the Indian team.

Yup, they might have made number one in spite of his captaincy, but they certainly couldn't have done it without his leadership.

 

[harsh.ag]

So who's the WK now?

Saha?

Yup. Naman Ojha second in line probably.

I guess I realize why Smith called for a draw

Yeah.

This is weird. It's a very good call by MS. Always hard to make such decisions.

Thank you MSD for the world number 1 ranking! It will be remembered for a long time

Will never forget Dhoni's double hundred to subdue the Aussies last year in Chennai, quality player, retires with a decent record

 

[Flem274*]

well ok MS

 

[Daemon]

So I guess he was just waiting till Kohli was ready. After England it didn't seem like it but it makes sense to do it now.

Wanted a free trip to Australia imo

He wanted to acclimatize before the WC

Good to know that Ishant Sharma is now the most experienced man in the side.

Will not play the 4th test. Kohli will replace him as captain.

 

[harsh.ag]

Seriously. This side now set for the next 10 years, now that MS is gone. Vijay the only change to happen in the next decade.

Mark duplicate

Nah. The wheel is forever.

 

[morgieb]

Farewell MS. Decent Test career and taking India to #1 will leave his mark at Test level, but it was time I feel.

 

[ankitj]

I had a strong feeling this will be his last test series. But mid series is a surprise.

So how will his legacy in test cricket be judged? Does he make India's AT test XI?

 

[Zinzan]

Agree this is the best thing for Indian cricket atm, but why now and not the end of the series? Some sort of niggle perhaps?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni with the best declaration of the day tbf.

Not bad to give Kohli a go in a dead rubber imo.

A niggle called Virat "Tu hatta hai yaa main hataaun" Kohli

 

[Pratters]

Dhoni had a great tenure with the test team till 2011. Was the captain under whom we won the World T20 and eventually became the best test team, won the world cup. It hasn't been very good since then in a tough period of transition, decadence at the board with Srinivasan at the top.

I look forward to how India does again as a test team, now.
