On 15 August 2020 (Saturday), Mahendra Singh Dhoni announced his retirement from all the three formats of cricket, bringing an end to his glorious career as India’s most successful wicketkeeper-batsman and captain. He is the only captain to have won all the three Trophies; the World Cup, T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy for his country.

Dhoni had taken retirement from the longest format of the game in December 2014 and there were a lot of speculations in the cricketing world regarding his goodbye from the limited-overs format. The legend had not played a single match for India since its exit from World Cup 2019 after the loss against New Zealand during the semi-finals.

Now, a year later, the Ranchi Stalwart bought the curtains down on his golden international career of 15 years. Sharing the news of his social media, Dhoni wrote, “Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. From 1929 hrs consider me as Retired,”
