Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not relinquish captaincy of India’s limited-overs teams but was nudged by the selectors into making the “bombshell announcement” – they told him his time at the helm was up, sources said.

The Indian cricket board announced on Wednesday that MS Dhoni, the double World Cup-winning skipper, had decided to step down as the captain of the one-day and Twenty20 sides but would continue playing.

However, sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told HT that Dhoni did not step down on his own. Selection committee chairman MSK Prasad had met the 35-year-old in Nagpur during last week’s Ranji Trophy semifinal between Jharkhand, Dhoni’s home state, and Gujarat.

Update:

Quashing such reports, Prasad, while exclusively speaking to ANI, today said, “I have to say only this that all the reports which are coming are false. To leave the captaincy was completely Dhoni’s decision.”

Defo pushed. The fact bcci announced and not dhoni sums it up 

It's just captaincy and not retirement that he has to come out and seek media attention. He is still playing as a player.

 

Doubt BCCI pushed him to retire. BCCI is currently broken with all the Lodha committee and stuff, they have more things to worry about then push Dhoni to give up captaincy.

It's perfectly plausible that a BCCI source has leaked information to a journalist in which case it should be cited as opinion in an opinion piece with a recognised cricket author not 'HT correspondents'.

Haha I knew it. He's too pathetic and shallow individual to take such decisions that benefit the team. Thank god BCCI was not dumb enough as some posters here who were blindly supporting his captaincy. They knew their brand LOI cricket was taking a huge hit because of the recent loses.

All dudes here laughing can't play half the cricket dhoni has. You got respect him he is the greatest ODI captain of all time. He has given captaincy. He captained India in 199 matches. If he was so interested in records he would have till 200. He has given up captaincy. Let's all be little humble shall we and enjoy the game. Just because mr verma doesn't like Dhoni and created rumors let's not disrespect the greatest captiain of all time.
