MS Dhoni Retires from the Test Cricket – Highlights of His Career

There was no hype created, there was no pre-determined announcement was made, no emotions were flowing and no ‘special test series’ was announced for this, yet the Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement from the test cricket has gave him plenty of respect without doubt. He is a practical man, as per the BCCI Secretary Sanjay, who was the first person to know about Dhoni’s decision to quite the test cricket. As per Mr. Patel, just after the MCG test match was drawn, MS Dhoni called up and said that he wants to quit the test cricket. Upon asking whether he is injured or what?, Dhoni’s next answer was in a very calm tone that, No I just want to quit the test cricket for good.

When Patel asked him to confirm it, Dhoni said that he would first like to share it with the ‘boys’ and then let the BCCI make an official announcement. The Chairman of selectors Sandeep Patil and interim BCCI Chairman Shivlal Yadav were also of the opinion that the BCCI must respect Dhoni’s decision. Later BCCI issued an official email to all the major media houses about MS Dhoni’s retirement from the test cricket. Let us have some of the major high points of MSD’s test career.
