After a decade of magnificent service to the Indian cricket, legendary batsman-wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday stepped down as the captain of limited over format of the game.
The 35-year-old is India’s most successful captain and remains the only player in cricketing history to lead his team to victory in the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and the Champions Trophy.

From “giving last over to Joginder Sharma” to “stepping down as a captain”, Dhoni never failed to surprise us. #LoveYouDhoni

I am quite sad to see Dhoni quit as ODI and T20I captain, but I swear his timing is just perfect. He knows this is Kohli’s era.
