Former India captain MS Dhoni shocked the world in 2014 when he quit Test cricket during the Border-Gavaskar trophy below. Dhoni, out of the blue, decided to withdraw from a much longer format after a Melbourne Cricket Ground-based test Virat Kohli took control in the middle of the series.
Ravi Shastri, who was the team manager at the time, recalled that Dhoni came to meet him after the match and told him he wanted to talk to the players in the changing room as he thought the former captain would talk to them about the result. of the game. The former India coach said he hoped Kohli would lead the Indian team after Dhoni.
“I knew that with MS Dhoni just finishing, Virat Kohli would lead the team. He (MS Dhoni) knew who was the next leader in the line, ”Shastri told Star Sports. “She was waiting for the opportunity to make an announcement. He knew how much his body could take and he wanted to extend his white football career. When your body tells you it is enough, it is enough, there are no second thoughts about it, ”he added.
“Well, it surprised me. He came up to me and said ‘I want to say something to the boys’. I said ‘sure’. I thought he had something to say about the pull. He is coming out. I just saw the face around the dressing room. Most of the boys were shocked when MS made the announcement. But that is your MS, ”added Shastri.
“I thought that if I could get the best out of Rohit I would be a failure as a coach” – @ RaviShastriOfc

Meanwhile, Shastri believes dismissal may come as a blessing for Kohli who can focus more on his own. to beat now.
“I think it is the right way (2 white captain and red cricket). This can be a blessing in disguise Virat and Rohit. I do not think that in this age of globalization one young man could manage all three (to be a captain in all three formats). It is not easy at all, ”said Shastri.
“We were both aggressive, playing to win, we quickly realized that in order to win we needed 20 wickets, we decided to play aggressive and fearless cricket. It meant that sometimes you would lose games but once you get it you cross the line and become infected. ”
