Former India captain MS Dhoni (MS Dhoni) said goodbye to international cricket on 15 August 2020. On one hand, the whole country was immersed in the celebration of independence. At the same time, Dhoni's retirement to cricket lovers was no less than a deep shock. MS Dhoni (MS Dhoni Retirement) in his inimitable style shared a video on social media, depicting his amazing journey in the game.
MS Dhoni captioned that video clip, "Thank you- Thank you so much for your love and support. Consider me retired from 1929 hrs." After the retirement of Mahi, the effect of his absence from the Indian team was visible. Let us know about those three special effects, which were fulfilled in Team India due to the presence of Dhoni.
1. No other finisher was found
Team India was heavily dependent on Dhoni as a finisher in limited-overs cricket. Even after three years of retirement, he is struggling in the department. Ravindra Jadeja has played some impressive innings as a finisher for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2023. However, this left-handed player Jadeja is not successful at the international level.
Hardik Pandya tried to become the new finisher in the Indian team to some extent. Of late, he has looked more inclined as a player who looks to build innings. Pandya's form has also not been the same in recent times. On the recently concluded tour of the West Indies, he had to struggle more.
2. The pair of 'Kulcha' broke up
Both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have candidly admitted that they felt like the end of international cricket for a while after Dhoni was no longer behind the stumps. Being the shrewd cricketer that he is, Dhoni guided both the spinners in the latter days of their careers and played a big role in the success of 'Kulcha'. There was a time when the Indian spin duo dominated world cricket and Dhoni's imprint was evident behind their achievements. However, things changed drastically after Dhoni's departure, and 'Kulcha' was never the same again.
3. Lack of mentor on the field
Another reason why Team India misses the presence of a player like Dhoni on the field is that they do not have any other mentor like him. The former Indian skipper could galvanize players in bad situations. There have been many occasions in recent years when Team India has looked completely desperate on the field. T20 World Cup 2021 matches against Pakistan and New Zealand come to mind. Yes, Dhoni was part of the team as a mentor, but off the field.
