Shane Warne has spoken about a topic that is making the news much too often these days, Dhoni’s retirement. He said: “MS Dhoni has been a terrific servant for Indian cricket, he has given his everything to Indian cricket. I can’t believe some people questioned that MS shouldn’t have been there for the World Cup. The thing about retirement is that it is better they say why are you than why don’t you. Dhoni is the only person who knows when the right time is and as a player, you know. And whether that is after the World Cup or five years after the tournament he will know when the right time is. Dhoni can retire whenever he wants because he has been that good.”

Well, unfortunately, there is no option for never retiring so Dhoni’s fans will probably settle with this. After a scintillating knock against Bangladesh yesterday in which MSD scored 113 from 78, the batsman continues to remind us that age is just a number.

So are you ready to see Thala rock the World Cup?
