Putting an end to his 16-year-old journey, former Team India skipper MS Dhoni has announced his retirement from international cricket. Taking to social media, Dhoni shared a compilation of his journey so far to make the announcement. The Ranchi-lad who made his debut in 2004, was entrusted with the captaincy of Team India in 2007 for T20s and ODIs and later on in 2008 for Tests. Debuting in 2004 against Bangladesh, he went on to lead the Men in Blue to win the first-ever T20 World Cup in 2007, the ICC 2011 World Cup, and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.
