  • Retirement

    Dhoni's retirement was on the cards

    Dhoni's retirement was on the cards
  • Dhoni's retirement from cricket was being speculated ever since the conclusion of the World Cup.

    He has been an excellent servant for Indian cricket.

    Dhoni was in strong form in 2019 and amassed 600 runs in 18 matches.

    Despite all his inputs and contributions, he was unfairly criticized by several Indian fans in the recent past.

    But he kept responding in style.

  • Future

    KL Rahul likely to be Dhoni's successor

    KL Rahul likely to be Dhoni's successor
  • Youngster KL Rahul is set to be his successor.

    Rahul has already made a mark in the white-ball cricket.

    However, he hasn't be able to replicate his form in the longest format.

    More than Dhoni's batting, his valuable inputs behind the stumps will be missed the most.

    Legends will come and go, but there won't be another Thala.
