Mahendra Singh Dhoni Chooses To Fed Away From Tests

You Just Cant Predict Him

There came a magician who had taken Indian cricket to the greatest heights and made this cricket crazy nation believed that India can conquer any thing and then suddenly he choose to retire from the purest form of Cricket in which he had made team number one for the very first time, without giving any reason. The retirement reminds me of the statement which Mahendra Singh Dhoni made in one of the press conference when he was asked about 2015 world cup, in response to which he replied that he even is not sure whether he will be alive and playing cricket or not. He also once stated that he could leave playing tests in coming years, so this might be the date which Dhoni had selected from lucky draw.Well I wont appreciate the timing of decision looking at the all important world cup, as this decision would surly be blamed for if India will not perform as per the expectations and its consequences would be even worse. But lets not forget the fact that he had always been valiant in taking unorthodox decision and proven himself right, hope this goes in his favor as well. 

The plot was already set when for the first time in his career Mahendra Singh Dhoni was rested because of an injury rather then simply stating it as a rest by the officials. Another thing is Mahendra Singh Dhoni just choose to fed away for tests and even did not himself announced his retirement, it was the tweet by BCCI which made it viral and left all the questions unanswered of cricket fans .  Whether it was his own decision or not, will soon be cleared from India’s performance in the upcoming ODI series and world cup, but the decision once again shows that how competitive cricket has become now a days. The modern day cricket requires continues performance .

As Dhoni had already given signs that he will quit tests in future, the reason for it was clear that his style donot actually fits for test cricket.He was made T20 captain first and then ODI and later forcefully after the retirement of Kumble the test captain. But he actually could not perform to his potential in this format because this format had never suited his batting and captaincy style and he already knew it from starting. Dhoni keep calm and then explode and his style of taking retirement was not an exception.   

Another interesting fact got associated with Dhoni's retirement is that -Ganguly , Kumble , Dravid and Dhoni all four test captains retired while playing against Australia ,which actually gives a logical conclusion and a buzzing title for the Australia tour as 'The tour where legends announce retirement'.

Lets accept the fact now and thank Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his contribution to the test cricket and keep our faith in the phrase that every thing happens for a good reason and hope for the best in the coming time.
