Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has announced his retirement from all form of international cricket following the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. The Indian skipper is set to lead the Indian side in the upcoming tournament as they look to defend cricket’s most prestigious crown. The Jharkhand wicketkeeper-batsman made the announcement on Twitter soon after the Indian selectors picked up the 15-member squad for the World Cup on Tuesday. He said that defending the World Cup is his ultimate dream.
He wrote on Twitter, “Ever since the last World Cup win, all I ever dreamt of was winning the tournament outside India. This will be my last tournament and I will be quitting all forms of international cricket after this. My body is not able to take the pressures of the hectic international schedule.”
Virat Kohli soon took to Twitter and said, “Last time the World Cup was for Sachin paaji. This time it will be for Mahi”. Chennai Super Kings confirmed on the social networking site that Dhoni will continue to play the Indian Premier League and will be leading CSK in IPL 8.
