MS Dhoni:
The veteran star cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a hot topic in the Indian cricket. Even before the World Cup 2019 took off, it was rumoured that the wicketkeeper-batsman will be announcing retirement from international cricket.
However, India’s disastrous ouster from the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament, Dhoni is continuously questioned about the big statement. But the veteran wicket-keeper batsman has been on sabbatical ever since India lost to New Zealand by mere runs.
Nevertheless, the star cricketer is famous among the Indian cricket fans for his contribution.
Dhoni has bagged the most cherished 2011 World Cup, while he became the first-ever India captain to win the 2007 World T20. He also had led India to win the 2010 and 2016 Asia Cup whereas, helping India to bag the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy in England.
However, with him not showing up in any of the international games, and team selectors not choosing him for any series, it is yet again estimated that Dhoni is likely to announce retirement from international cricket. On the other hand, the keeper-batsman has made it clear that he will be part of the IPL 2020 and 2021.
Harbhajan Singh:
India’s most successful off-spin bowler, Harbhajan Singh might bid adieu to his international cricket career this year. Although he still features in the domestic professional league.
Last time the googly-master was seen donning the Blue jersey in 2016.
The off-spinner was also a part of the 2016 World T20 but couldn’t scalp any wickets for the team. The cricketer often found himself surrounded by controversies because of his attitude in the game. The infamous incident with Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds is well known to everyone.
Nevertheless, with his numbers going down in the game, ‘Bhajji’ had not played any international cricket for the team after the 2015-16 season. At present, he sits at the commentary box along with fellow retired cricketers such as Gautam Gambhir and Irfan Pathan. Although not playing, Harbhajan will possibly announce his retirement from all the forms of the game, this year.
