The right time for Dhoni to retire from international cricket


zen

Recommended Posts

I am a Dhoni fan (not a die hard fan though) .... Have supported him since he started out .... His end as far as international career is concerned is probably nearer than what many of us would like to think .... He deserves a good send off and what better to do it than a series in Ind with all the fans cheering for him 

 

I realize that he wants to play WC19 but Ind is not a hot favorite for the event. If it fails, a part of the blame would fall on his shoulders, impacting his legacy. Why plan on becoming a/the scapegoat? A wise man should have an exit strategy. Below is Ind's upcoming LOI schedule:

 

  • Asia Cup in Sept
  • vs WI in Ind in Oct-Nov 
  • vs Aus and NZ in Nov-Feb
  • vs Aus in Ind in Feb-Mar
  • ODI World Cup in May-Jul

 

Looking at the above, WI tour appears to be the best bet to sign off with fanfare and likely on a winning note :dontknow:  .... He can continue as long as he wants in IPL, which is what matters at the end of the day .... He should do a Cook and announce the WI series to be his last so the fans can start preparing for his farewell

This is not about crying over the split milk. He did not retire but will have to sooner or later so this is about determining the right exit strategy for him :lol:

 

Well the right exit strategy for him is

a)selectors should go a spine and kick him out-Not happening

b)He discovers shame and calls it a day- Not happening either

 

So we are stuck with him till 2019 WC or even the 2020 WT20.

Sorry to say, He doesnt deserve a exit strategy. Great respect to him, but he should simply say bye bye.

I can understand that he may want to avenge CT defeat, but what if he nay end up contributing to one more defeat

He is already 40+. shouldn't have been in the 2019 WC squad but did it change anything? He will play the 2020 WT20,mark my words.(if it is left to him)

Don’t you think somewhere Virat and Shastri are responsible for him in the squad as @mishra bhai mentioned that he runs up to MSD for advice after every over personally the team is not Dhoni’s property that he decides to exit whenever he wants.

But he is not going to hang up his boots on his own accord atm. So what better way to entice him than a farewell series in India vs WI, where he can sign off potentially on the winning note .... And making him aware of the prospect of him being turned in to a/the scapegoat if Ind fails to do well in WC19  :lol: .... Yuv lost many fans after that inning vs SL in T20 WC final

Yes, But @mishra doesnt respect either Kohli or Shashtri. Because they have contributed nothing but disappointment.

MSD is different class. He should simply say , enough is enough.
