"Some People Want Me To Retire Before India's Next Match," Dhoni Talks About Retirement Plans

Speculations about MS Dhoni's retirement have been coming out since the start of World Cup 2019. Right from their first match, Dhoni has been receiving a lot of criticism for his batting approach.

As per ABP News' cricket website wahcricket.com which was reported on Friday, according to the report, Dhoni told ABP News that he was not sure when he is retiring from the sport but some people want him to retire before India's next World Cup game against Sri Lanka. "I don't know when I will retire. But a lot of people want me to retire before India vs Sri Lanka's game," Dhoni told ABP News.

Today, the two Asian rivals will clash against each other in their last World Cup 2019 league stage match at Headingley in Leeds.

Even earlier news agency, PTI reported India's last match in the ongoing World Cup, in all likelihood, will also be MS Dhoni's last game in India colours. "You never know with MS Dhoni. But it is unlikely that he will continue to play for India after this World Cup. But since his decisions to quit captaincy from the three formats have been taken so suddenly, it is very difficult to predict at the moment," a senior BCCI official told PTI on condition of anonymity.

Media report further state that however, with India qualifying for the semi-finals at the World Cup here, neither the team management nor the BCCI wants to talk about sensitive issue.

Currently at the on going World Cup, Dhoni has scored 223 runs in seven games at a decent strike rate of 93.
