MS Dhoni Announces Retirement from International Cricket on 15 August 2020
Having already retired from Test cricket in December 2014, this marked the end of his journey in ODIs and T20Is as well.
Under Dhoni's captaincy, India won:
The 2007 T20 World Cup
The 2011 ICC ODI World Cup
And the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy
He remains the only captain in cricket history to win all three major ICC trophies.
Post-retirement, Dhoni continues to play in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and led them to victories in 2023 and 2024. Beyond cricket, he is also involved in farming, bike collections, and film production through his company Dhoni Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.
Dhoni’s retirement announcement was quiet yet powerful—much like his playing style. He leaves behind a legacy of calm leadership, tactical brilliance, and unmatched humility. Truly, Captain Cool remains forever in the hearts of cricket fans.
