The Dhoni-retirement saga is deepening its roots with each passing day. Indian head coach Ravi Shastri came up with staggering claims of the 2011-WC winning captain bidding adieu to ODI cricket very soon.
Shastri claimed that after an honest conversation with the former Indian captain, his ODI career was soon to be over. Dhoni, who hasn't played for India since India's loss to New Zealand in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup, has been tipped to retire from ODI soon but will continue to play in IPL and T20I cricket for India.
MS Dhoni has played 350 ODIs, 90 Tests and 98 T20Is for India.
Shastri said -
"I have had a conversation with MS and that is between us. He has finished his Test career, he may soon end his ODI career... In all probability, he may soon end his ODI career."
"At his age, probably the only format he'll want to play is T20 cricket which means he'll have to start playing again, get back into the groove because he's going to play in the IPL and see how his body reacts."
