Kapil Dev says it will be 'India's Loss' when MS Dhoni bids adieu to the game
Former skipper Kapil Dev said that it will be India's loss once 2011 World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni bids adieu to the gentleman's game
Kapil Dev said that it will be a huge blow for India once the legendary cricketer and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hangs up his boots from international cricket. During a recent interview, the 1983 World Cup-winning skipper said that the 2011 World Cup-winning captain has served the country so well for so many years. Meanwhile, Kapil Dev mentioned that Dhoni has to retire one day and that will be sooner rather than later.
The former all-rounder also added that the veteran wicket-keeper batsman has to go at some point of time. At the same time, Kapil also said that since MSD is not playing any matches at the moment, he has no clue as to when Dhoni is going to come out and say he has had enough. The 'Haryana Hurricane' then said that it will be India's loss whenever MS Dhoni calls it a day.
