BCCI might host a farewell match for MS Dhoni: Reports

Dhoni has never fancied grandstanding, however, the cricket board wants to see him off gracefully.

"After IPL, we will see what can be done because Dhoni has done a lot for the nation. We always wanted to have a farewell match for him, but Dhoni is a different player. He announced his retirement when nobody was thinking of it," the official said.

Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal also believes the board should offer Dhoni a farewell match or series as the fans would want to see him play.

"I would be happy if the BCCI hosts a match for Dhoni. He is a legendary player and you can't let him go like that. His fans would want to see him again in action," Lal told IANS.

India's greatest white-ball skipper MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15.

He took to Instagram and shared his cricketing journey through a video.

The video was captioned, "Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired."

His retirement emanated a barrage of emotional tributes from around the world.

The former Indian captain didn't feature in international cricket for a year before hanging his boots.

This may be an indication that he doesn't want his retirement to be sensationalized.

However, it remains to be seen if Dhoni agrees to don the blue jersey one last time.

Notably, Dhoni will be seen leading the Chennai Super Kings in the impending Indian Premier League edition.
