Hyderabad: Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq felt that former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who announced his retirement on Saturday via Instagram post, says that the Chennai Super Kings’ captain should not have taken a retirement decision sitting at home.
Speaking in his YouTube channel, the former Pakistan cricketer said, “Dhoni has millions of fan across the globe who want to see him play on the ground. In my opinion a player of such stature, shouldn’t have taken retirement while sitting at home. He should have announced retirement from the ground.”
“This is the same thing, I once told Sachin Tendulkar. When you have such a big fanfare, you should ideally end your journey from the ground, after all it is this ground where you earned such respect and stardom. In my opinion, even Dhoni should have done the same then his fans would have been more happy, including me since I rate him as the best Indian skipper,” Inzamam said.
He also praised Dhoni and said he knows how to groom young talent. “MS Dhoni is such a clever cricketer that he knew how to build players. Suresh Raina and R Ashwin are two best players, MS Dhoni produced.”
