“The team played well. It was just unfortunate that the game went into the second day. Three early wickets put the team on the backfoot completely. Then it was a great recovery from Jadeja and Dhoni. It was a case of so close but yet so far. Hats off to Jadeja and Dhoni for the way they played,” Edulji told PTI.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni has always helped the youngsters glitter under his tutelage. However, Dhoni is now 38 years and it is expected that he would hang his boots sooner than later.

“I completely appreciate the way he played in the whole tournament. That (retirement) is his personal decision. Only he can take that decision and it is his body which has to answer him. I still feel that he has a lot of cricket left in him. The youngsters in the team still need his mentorship, ” Edulji, herself a former India captain, added.

MS Dhoni is a massive contributor to Indian cricket and it would be a huge void to fill when he would retire from the game. Dhoni has done a great job in helping Indian cricket take massive strides at the topmost level.

Meanwhile, Dhoni is entitled to take the decision of his retirement. The talisman batsman has been instrumental in the success of the team and it would be interesting to note MS Dhoni’s decision.
