MS Dhoni announced his decision in just three words to the selectors

“OK, THAT’S it.” is what MS Dhoni said while announcing his decision to the selection committee, MSK Prasad has revealed to the Indian Express. The duo discussed this decision during Jharkhand’s Ranji Trophy semifinal match at Nagpur, but he has refused to reveal any details of that conversation other than praising Dhoni’s “amazing clarity of thought”.

“Virat is doing an excellent job with the Test team and we know he is ready. But the pressures of ODI captaincy are different. And they wanted MS to be around, overseeing matters on the field and guiding Virat as he takes his first few steps as the limited-overs captain. They didn’t want a situation where MS hangs up his boots and Virat is left to take on the mantle all by himself,” the unnamed source said.
