MS Dhoni: The Untold Story: Five things that we can expect in the movie
5) Thinking behind his Test retirement
The real cause behind the shock announcement has been subjected to a lot of speculation mainly because Dhoni has never really tried to explain his decision.
Ravi Shastri who was at the helm of affairs back then when asked about transfer of power to Kohli had to say that “I think that was one of the reasons why MS decided to quit. You know he realised that there are three formats of the game. It is becoming hard for him. But at the same time he knew there was someone ready,” he said.
“Now if you think back, you will know why he made that decision. It was a good decision because it was clear in everyone’s mind, across the media, that this is your future captain and let him captain in that last Test match in Australia so that all speculation goes to rest,” Shastri added.
We expect the movie to focus on this decision and what were the external motivations which influenced his decision.
