MS Dhoni Retires From International Cricket: The Coolest Captain Ever

 

MS Dhoni Retires From International Cricket:

MS Dhoni announced his retirement through a post on Instagram, which read "Thanks a lot for your love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired." 


Popularly known as Captain cool, MS Dhoni was perhaps one of the greatest finishers that ODI cricketer has ever seen. He was last seen sporting the Indian national team's jersey during India's 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. Since the beginning of the tournament rumours of his retirement had been doing rounds. The rumours were further fueled when Dhoni chose to take a break from cricket after the World Cup. 

In September 2019, a cryptic tweet by skipper Virat Kohli had yet again spiraled Dhoni's retirement rumours. However, Dhoni himself had given off no such indication. Upon asked about it, he said “I don't know when I will retire.”

Will Team India be the same without MS Dhoni?

MS Dhoni has always been an integral part of the Indian cricket team, adding value in all his roles whether it was as a finisher earlier or wicketkeeper or Captain of the Indian national cricket team. Even after his stepped down from the captain's post, Dhoni remained a significant part of the team by keeping the wickets and holding the middle order steady. Indian skipper Virat Kohli was often seen consulting Dhoni before taking key decisions on the field

MS Dhoni- The wicketkeeper

MS Dhoni was one of the world’s best wicket-takers. His ability behind the stumps was almost unmatchable as he was known for his lightning quick reflexes. He rarely missed a stumping chance or a catch.

This move was welcomed by many. Women in our country comprises of approximately 48% of our total population and 23% of women in work/professional field. If it is implemented in all the private sector and public sector then this group of women will be benefited from the said policy, but it will take more times to cover all the sectors completely. Whenever policy for such a small group/section of people is made it attracts both positive and negative comments/opinion from different section of our society.
