Dhoni's retirement

The 2011 World Cup-winning captain announced his international retirement on India's Independence Day on August 15 as he took to Instagram and posted a short compilation video of his illustrious career with a caption that read, "consider me retired from 19:29." Dhoni was last seen in the Blue jersey during the 2019 World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand which ended on an unfortunate note as the former skipper got run-out while saving the match for India. The 39-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman now belongs to CSK after saying goodbye to India and will only be seen in action during IPLs that too for another year or so.
