Nova Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 The reporter asked him if Dhoni was going to retire and this is what transpired ---> http://goo.gl/0Nv7ZK tweaker 1
kosingh Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 A bit intimidating by Dhoni, but the reporter deserved it. tweaker 1
zen Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 As I said on one of the threads - when to retire is a player's prerogative. It is a dumb question to ask esp when even olders players are still playing whether internationals or domestics. Dhoni may not retire till he is 50 but whether he will be picked at 50 is a different question Questions should be asked related to job. A more relevant question could have been if Dhoni is thinking about abdicating the captaincy.
HippoSucks Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 There was nothing wrong with the question or the answer.
diga Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2016/content/story/993937.html He is planning to play till 2019... Hopefully selectors grow a pair and put him on watch Mosher and adi B 2
sscomp32 Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Brilliant MSD. WHAT A BOSS Removed all my frustrations in just 1 minute, havent stopped laughing since i saw this.
chewy Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Dhoni shouldn't retire, but just needs move on with captaincy. Kohli has own way to do things and will be refreshing after nearly a decade of MSD's great reign (in limited overs).
Forever Indian Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 In office now, can someone type the reply of Dhoni here
rkt.india Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Quote If brevity is the soul of wit, timing is its breath. Pity Mahendra Singh Dhoni often struggles with both. At the press briefing on Thursday night after India’s loss to West Indies in the T20 World Cup semi-final, an Australian journalist asked the Indian captain about his retirement plans. Dhoni’s response was far from brief. He made an elaborate show of calling the journalist over to sit next to him and started a little Q&A of his own. Watch: Dhoni rejects retirement rumour in onstage banter with journalist “Come here, let’s have some fun. Do you want me to retire?” The journalist was to the point: “Not that I want, that’s what I want to ask.” “Do you think I am unfit, looking at my running?” Dhoni continued. “No, you are fast.” “Do you think I can survive till the 2019 World Cup?” “Yes, you should.” “Then you have answered the question,” said Dhoni. No, captain, he hadn’t. When did retirement become about fitness, or even ability? Many cricket players left the game with a triumphant show in their last game. The most recent example is New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum. But for the most telling instance, look no further than Sunil Gavaskar. http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-t20/the-joke-s-on-ms-dhoni-why-his-banter-with-journo-after-world-t20-loss-is-no-laughing-matter/story-n0tx7sUhHobYS52azz7dbN.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=fbpost&utm_campaign=worldt20 adi B 1

kosingh Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Dhoni could have done without the physical contact with the reporter. His comments, however, I don't have an issue with.
I.Dont.Care Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Nothing wrong though He wanted to rekt some Indian reporter.

Even by his definition, does the writer really think Dhoni has nothing more to offer in LOI cricket? He is by far the best wicketkeeper batsman and there is no close second.. I'd still question his captaincy, but not his place in the team... And taking Dhoni's sarcastic light-hearted jibe on Kohli having to pay him so seriously? C'mon media, grow up... Looking at the last para of the article clears things up.. This guy is some Biz / Economy journalist, probably writing his first sports article sscomp32 1
Number Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 He is an embarrassement. Now every player when asked about retirement will say do you have a brother who can play in my place. diehardpacer and sscomp32 1 1
nevada Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 So Dhoni will continue to play as long as he can run or an Indian reporter's brother or son becomes good enough to take his place.
