One World Cup, one World T20 title, two IPLs, under his captaincy India were No.1 in Test rankings what more can he want? But just before the World T20 this year when a journalist had asked M.S Dhoni if he has any plans of retirement an irritated Dhoni had stated,” There will be questions, you send me letters or requisitions. If you have the freedom, it’s not right to ask all types of questions.

“It’s very important to judge everything as to what needs to be done, why it needs to be done. Because somebody has the platform to ask questions, it does not mean that you keep on asking the same questions.”

India crashed out of the World T20 from the semifinals stage and another World Cup is almost three years away but Dhoni is still keen on continuing in the limited overs format. No other Indian captain has a better ‘win’ percentage than him but recently that percentage has taken a hit.

Dhoni hasn’t been in best of forms with the bat and his finishing skills too have been found lacking recently. He retired from Tests in December 2014, will he hang up his boots now from every format now? He is 35 already and he just might decide to quit this season.
