Love the way @msdhoni plays the game … But it’s now the right time for @imVkohli to take the Indian Test team in a new direction…..

MS Dhoni showed India what a tough man from a small town could dream and achieve. He has been a role model. Respect. #DhoniRetires

I’m sure Dhoni had decided to retire in 2014. And as usual, he did it with only a day to spare. #DhoniRetires
