Sourav Ganguly shares his views on MS Dhoni’s retirement
While Dhoni continues to enjoy his break away from cricket, the speculations never stop. The experts always face the question regarding Dhoni’s retirement. Sourav Ganguly was no exception. Ganguly said it would totally depend on the team management and how selectors would handle it. “Obviously, Dhoni is not young anymore, so this decision comes in everybody’s life at some stage or the other. So, we will have to wait and see for another three or four months to understand where it goes.”

Although the young keeper batter has slotted in well in the team the future will depend on a lot of other aspects. “Obviously, Rishabh (Pant) is in. He plays well. (But in the end), it all depends on the mindset of the selectors and what they think. It’s about whether they want to look at the future. Only time will tell.”
