Why did Dhoni leave the team in the middle of the series, what was the compulsion? Ravi Shastri revealed

New DelhiJust as R Ashwin retired from international cricket in the middle of the series, similarly in the year 2014, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had announced his/her retirement from red ball cricket in the middle of the series against Australia. Dhoni had said that he/she is bored with Test cricket and he/she wants to pack his/her bags. This has been disclosed by the then coach Ravi Shastri.

Ravi Shastri said, ‘Dhoni did not wait. I was a coach at that time. he/she said, Ravi, I need to talk to the boys for five minutes. Since we had drawn the game at MCG, I said please talk. I thought he/she was going to say, ‘Well done, boys’ but instead he/she just said, ‘Thank you.’ I’ve dealt with it.

Shastri further said that when he/she came there he/she said that there is still one test match left. he/she gave a five-minute speech. No tantrums, no show off. he/she said thank you very much for your support. You know, I won’t be in Sydney. But I have full support for you guys.

he/she said, ‘Nobody had any idea that he/she would come and say this. he/she played 94 or 95 test matches. You know that in India, if a player of his/her stature plays his/her 100th Test match and if that Test match was in Ranchi, the entire city would be on the field to celebrate that 100th Test. But it was nothing like that for him/her. he/she simply said, ‘I want to pack my bag.’ I am bored with Test cricket.
