MS Dhoni retirement news: 3 reasons why Dhoni should retire from international cricket now

3) Can end on a high note

If Dhoni doesn’t play any more matches for India, his last memory would be of him trying hard to seal a difficult chase for India. Batting in the semi-final of the World Cup against New Zealand, Dhoni had scored 50 (72) with the help of a four and six each after coming in to bat at 71/5 in the 23rd over.

Had it not been a near-unbelievable run-out from Martin Guptill, things would have been different (and better) for the Indian team today. An immediate retirement will surely allow Dhoni to retire after scoring his 73rd ODI half-century in a World Cup semi-final and not featuring in any farewell series.
