He played his final match for India; he came quietly, he will leave quietly: Aakash Chopra on MS Dhoni!

I personally feel MS Dhoni had played his final match for India at Manchester against New Zealand during the 2019 World Cup, Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said on Sunday while speaking to Pakistan legend Ramiz Raja in a YouTube video.

“MS Dhoni has not told anyone anything. He has a different story. What almost everyone think is that he might return to the Indian team if he performs well in the IPL. But I personally feel he played his final match for India at Manchester against New Zealand,” Chopra was quoted as saying by HT. 

However, Chopra added that a call from BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, or coach Ravi Shastri, or skipper Virat Kohli, to help the team during the upcoming T20 World Cup, could possibly bring Dhoni back to play.

“Otherwise, in my opinion, Dhoni has made up his mind that ‘I am not going to play, I don’t need a farewell match. I came quietly, I will leave quietly’. He doesn’t need grandstanding. He is not that kind of player,” the former batsman added.

“He doesn’t want any noise. If the T20 World Cup gets pushed, then I don’t think you will see Dhoni in India’s blue jersey,” he further said.
