Of late, a lot of reports are being circulated in the media regarding the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. However, finally, the man himself makes his voice on retirement calls. As always, it was a unique statement from the ex-skipper MS Dhoni, which further puzzled the cricket fanatics.

Speculation on MS Dhoni’s retirement began to grow after media reports suggested that the former India captain and legendary wicketkeeper will quit after India’s last match in the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

Recently, the PTI has reported that the wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni will not continue his services for the team after the conclusion of the glorious event.

I don’t know when I will retire – MS Dhoni

With many starting to consider Dhoni as a player well past his prime, a section of Indian cricket fans do not want him to be a part of India’s remaining fixtures in the World Cup too.

As per a media report, Dhoni has stated that he isn’ sure as to when he will hang up his boots despite knowing that some people want him to quit before India’s final league fixture against Sri Lanka.

“I don’t know when I will retire from cricket. Some people want me to retire before next match against Sri Lanka,” Dhoni was quoted as saying by ABP News.

MS Dhoni had retired from Test cricket in 2014. And then, stepped down as India’s limited-overs captain in January 2017. He has since been an integral member of India’s shorter formats teams. Well, it would be interesting to see how things would turn out.

However, no announcement is going to take place during the World Cup even if MSD decides to hang up his boots.  MS Dhoni will next be seen in action against Sri Lanka on Saturday. It will be India’s last group game and hope to finish the league stages on top at Headingley, Leeds.
