Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Jan 05, 2017:  MS Dhoni’s decision to step down as the captain of India’s ODI and T20 team left the entire cricketing fraternity perplexed as question of why?, what happened?, started rising all around.

 

The decision came just 11 days before the ODI series against England series, as fans were expecting Mahi to lead the team at least until the ICC Champions Trophy scheduled to take place in June, 2017.

India’s cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar led tributes hailing Dhoni and his contribution to cricket, especially as a captain.

"Congratulations to MSD on a wonderful career as a captain leading India to success in both T20 and ODI World Cups. I have seen him emerge from an aggressive player to a steady and decisive captain. It’s a day to celebrate his successful captaincy and respect his decision. Wish MSD the very best as he continues entertaining us on the field with his exploits," Tendulkar wrote on his congratulatory message.

Sacked BCCI president Anurag Thakur too congratulated Dhoni on his achievement as captain.
