5 popular Indian players who played their last Test against Australia

#2 MS Dhoni

The final swansong

The man from Jharkhand always had something extraordinary up his sleeves which he used for catching everyone off-guard. His Test retirement was no different, which took the cricketing fraternity by surprise.

After India’s debacle in the first two Tests in the 2014-15 series against Australia, the Men in Blue needed two back-to-back wins to evade a series defeat. But, that wasn’t the case as India drew the third Test at Melbourne to erase any chances of a comeback.

Soon after the match, a BCCI press release revealed Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s decision to bid adieu to the longest format of the game, citing the strain of playing every format as the primary factor for the move. With 27 wins from 60 games as a skipper, the former Indian skipper was India’s most successful Test captain in terms of numbers.
