Dhoni steps down as India's LoI captain

MS Dhoni steps down as limited-overs captain | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Under his captaincy, India won the ODI WC, T20 WC, Champions Trophy, made an ODI WC semifinal, a semifinal and final in T20 WCs, won a couple of Asia Cups, and a tri-series down under. Will definitely go down as an ODI great and one of the best limited overs captains ever.

Legend. Thank you MSD.

i thought you wrote India's LOL captain.

LOI would read better than LoI

Haha. I don't think I can edit the thread title now.

Won everything. Legend.

Hope he rediscovers some of his old form with the burden of captaincy gone.

The Lol aside, great Limited overs captain. Would be hard to replace. His ice cool outlook on the field will be missed. WAG

Had no idea he was into MOBAs

Unlikely to play the 2019 WC? Its not that far away.

Will be good if he retires after the 2019 WC. Ishan Kishan and Pant can fight it out for 4 years for a permanent spot before the next one.

Is ishan kishan a real name?

I'm a big fan - probably my favourite Indian player in the whole time I've been watching cricket. Hopefully we'll see a few more awesome innings from him yet (but preferably not against us).

Yeah, probably has a narcissistic dad who wanted to name him Kishan after himself but was told no by the missus. So, he cut one letter off.

Geez he had to be a jock or he wouldnt have survived school. His dad is such a motivator lol

Anyway, getting back to one of his best moments as a batsman in recent times:

23 required off 6. Declines singles, backs himself, hits WD-6-0-4-0-6-6 to win the game. ****ing unreal and he finished it with a helicopter too, wag. The guy has a few more knocks in him in ODIs/T20s.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

He better step down. Last months performance vs the Chinese LoL team was an ebrassement.

I rate him as one of the best ever wicket keeper batsman and i am a good judge

Agree slippy, both about dhoni and your judging skills

Makes sense, Kohli is so much more impressive & will add the same backbone and intensity to the white ball sides as with the test side. Should have happened prior to the 2015 World Cup IMO.

Great news for Indian cricket.

 

[Pratters]

Good decision.
