New Delhi. MS Dhoni, whose name is listed among the greatest captains around the world. Dhoni led the Indian team to three ICC trophies. Many times under his captaincy, the opposing team was already under pressure. On August 15, 2020, this great captain of Team India suddenly announced his retirement. Dhoni had decided not to play in the upcoming World Cup. But after three years of retirement, Mahi has revealed a big secret about retirement.
MS Dhoni played his last match for India in the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Team India had to face a crushing defeat in the semi-finals. At the same time, Dhoni fell victim to a fine runout in that match. This was the match when Dhoni’s heart broke into a thousand pieces and on this day he planned his retirement. Dhoni has now revealed this. He clarified in a show that although he announced his retirement in 2020, he retired internally after the Indian team was eliminated from the World Cup.
‘When you lose a close game…’
Dhoni said during an event recently, ‘When you lose a close game it becomes difficult to control your emotions. At that time, internally I had my whole plan. For me, it was the last day to play cricket for India. I retired after a year but the fact is that I retired on the same day. We cricketers are given some machines and all that. So every time I went to the trainer I gave it back. He said, ‘No, you keep it. In my mind, that’s who I am.’ How do I tell them I don’t need it anymore and won’t be using it? I didn’t want to announce it at that time.
