Mahendra Singh Dhoni is now used to being asked questions on his retirement. After India’s six-wicket win in Sydney on Saturday, he again faced the same query and he tackled it with a witty reply.
India does not have any major 50-over commitment for the better part of 2016, where they would play a lot of Twenty20s.
Then India have more than 10 Tests lined up at home under Virat Kohli’s leadership.
So, Dhoni was asked whether he had played his last 50 over match since India don’t have any for a long time now.
“File a PIL for this (knowing my retirement plan),” Dhoni said in a lighter vein.
But then while talking about his batting position, Dhoni also made it clear that may be he was still some time away from international retirement.
He then talked about continuing to bat lower down the order, thus partly delaying the retirement question, at least for the time being.
“I would like to bat at no. 4 but the spots are all taken and I can only bat lower down the order.
“So I will continue to bat in that same order, and will have to adapt my game accordingly. Most of the time, I find it tough to hit the ball straightaway, so I need to bat a few overs.”
