Former India opener, Gautam Gambhir recently in a candid chat, spoke about MSD's achivements as well as his legacy. Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, Gautam Gambhir said MS Dhoni’s achievement of lifting all the 3 ICC trophies is a feat which he feels no other Indian captain will ever achieve, "One record if you talk about, which is going to stay forever is MS Dhoni’s three ICC trophies. I don’t think so any other captain would ever be able to achieve that! I think, whether it the T20 World Cup, whether it is ICC Champions Trophy or 2011 World Cup. I think that is something which is going to stay forever, and I can bet, that’s going to stay forever! I think 100s will eventually get broken, someone will come and probably score more double 100s than Rohit Sharma, but I don’t think so any Indian captain would be able to achieve three ICC trophies, so MS Dhoni’s going to be there to stay forever!"
Dhoni took to Instagram to make the announcement of his retirement. "Thanks a lot for ur love and support throughout. from 1929hrs consider me as retired," Dhoni posted on his Instagram handle.
