This a sad news for all the Indians as Dhoni has brought home numerous trophies. He has won the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2013. He also took India to the No 1 position in Test cricket.

This will be a huge loss not only for India but for the whole cricketing world.

Although, MS Dhoni will continue to play for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. The 13th edition of IPL is scheduled to take place in UAE from 19th September. BCCI has decided to take it outside of India due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
