'I Had Made My Entire Planning': Dhoni Reveals 2019 WC Semifinal Loss As Turning Point In Retirement Decision
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has shared insights into his decision to retire from international cricket, saying that he had made up his mind after India's defeat to New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup semifinal, that it would be his last game in India colours.
In the 13 months that followed India's semifinal exit from the 2019 World Cup, Dhoni conspicuously stayed away from the cricketing arena, eventually confirming his retirement on August 15, 2020.
Speaking at an event in Bengaluru, Dhoni revealed that he decided after the semifinal that it was the last game he played for India and said: "It gets difficult to control your emotions when you have lost a close game. And inside, I had made my entire planning. To me, that was the last day I played cricket for India. I took retirement a year later but the fact is that, that day I had retired. We cricketers are given certain machines and all of that
