And he recollects a moment where he got tear in his eye as Dhoni walked back to the pavilion on that day.
Nothing fatigued Dhoni. Captain Cool is something of a banality now, yet from numerous points of view, still the most able portrayal for MS. The main time I saw a frustration all over was after we lost the semi-last of the 2019 World Cup to New Zealand. I could nearly see a tear in his eye, of self-reprobation, that he ought to have been run out when such a lot of relied upon him,” Shastri wrote in his new book .
Dhoni played 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is added to his name and landmark never made a difference to him. He was the first captain to win T20 World Cup, 50-over World Cup and ICC Champions trophy during his time.

He retired after the third Test at Melbourne in 2014 was drawn, Mahendra Singh Dhoni settled on his choice to resign from Test cricket know in the changing area.

Shastri was Indian director of cricket when Dhoni chose to hang his boots. All Cricketers may have landmarks and achievements don’t make any difference, yet some do. I moved toward the issue indirectly, testing for an opening to make him adjust his perspective. In any case, there was an immovability to MS’s tone that prevented me from pushing the matter any further. Thinking back, I think his choice was right; additionally bold and caring,” Shastri composed .the most remarkable situation in cricket on the planet, as it were, couldn’t have been simple.”
Shastri put Dhoni comparable to Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev when it went to his effect on Indian cricket. Impact of Dhoni on Indian cricket has been huge. As a player, he is comparable to Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev where greatness is concerned.
