Do u think ravi shastri Played a role in dhonis retirement?

[CG]

Ravi shastri really seems to back kohli even in the interview he seems so hyper and aggressive supporting india going for victory at adelaide.

[tweaker]

After Kohli 's captaincy in the first test & his poor form,selectors may have given Dhoni an option to declare his retirement

[Crookbond]

No

[amiret]

Yes .

[Lord]

Shastri is a Dhoni fan so unlikely

[Desi Cartman]

Shastri/SMH can't even open their mouth unless Srini asks him to so its unlikely

[bowl_out]

Shastri talked about the process today after the match.. Maybe retirement was part of the process

[BeautifulGame]

Lol These coaches have zero power in Indian cricket .And Dhoni isn't the one to be forced or bullied either

[The Outsider]

Shastri is a dhakolebaaz at level with Dhoni when he talks about aggression. He was an underrated opener for India outside the subcontinent, but otherwise one of the biggest phattus to represent the country. The manner in which he hogged the MoS award at B&H series was disgraceful, not to mention his surrender in the '87 SF.

[Iconoclast]

I think who ever was in charge had decided that this would be Dhoni's last series. They were probably looking at a couple of easy series ahead as a good opportunity to blood Virat in as captain as opposed to going nowhere with Dhoni.

[vvvslaxman]

Ian chappell, Rob key, Paul Allott, Channel 9 commies, Ganguly, Sly sunny.. lot of guys have laid into Dhoni in this series. Some blunt comments were aired. Wasn't a popular captain for many except some of his hardcore fans.

[VRV Singh]

Dhoni retired knowing he could now watch cricket without Shastri commentating
