'Kws what's best for him': Kumar Sangakkara

“It changes from player to player. Sometimes, retirement does t require an official statement or a press release. Some cricketers just step aside and leave arguing, speculation, and everything else to ors. I believe MS Dhoni is a person who'd like ors to argue upon what he should be doing. He very well kws what's best for him,” said Sangakkara while speaking to 'Voice of Indian Cricket' Harsha Bhogle on Cricbuzz live.

“For MS, he will leave decision of him being selected or t to selectors. He respects system that he will leave it up to ors. He may decide to make a formal statement about his future but I think he is very secure about who he is, his cricket, his family,” he added.

“Don't think he will care much wher he gets picked for India or t. He will be happy playing just for Chennai Super Kings and you will suddenly find him t turning up for training for Chennai. That is when you will realise that Dhoni has decided to retire completely. Everyone's different,” former Lankan wicket-keeper batsman furr added.
