So, was this Dhoni’s last match?
Regarding yesterday’s match and Dhoni’s performance, he said ,”Well, look, it’s always, you know, a safer option to look at it from outside and say, ‘Maybe this could have happened’ but I think today he was batting with Jadeja and there was only Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) to follow after. So he had to hold one end together in my opinion.”
Well, according to Kohli this might not be Dhoni’s last match. Kohli says, ” No he hasn’t told us anything as of now.”
He also backed up Mahi’s approach and added, ” I think it had to be the right balance of one guy holding an end (Dhoni) and Jadeja playing the way he did. His knock was outstanding.”
