Speaking to JioCinema, former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Scott Styris hopes MS Dhoni announces his retirement prior, whenever decides to hang his boots so that he can have a proper farewell in the country.
“I think he wouldn’t be playing now if he wasn’t in the love of being in the dressing room. I hope that whenever he decides to hang up the bat, whether it’s now, or next season or many seasons later, that he announces it because he deserves a farewell tour around the country,” Scott Styris said.
MS Dhoni has been a great servant of Indian cricket and the IPL, he has led the Indian team to three ICC titles in his stint as the Indian captain and led the Chennai Super Kings to four IPL titles, being the second-most successful team in the league next to Mumba Indians.
