By now, the outpouring of emotions over two high-profile retirements in Indian cricket has started to sink in. MS Dhoni answered the question that many were asking since the 2015 ICC World Cup. On August 15, 2020, India's 74th Independence Day, he pushed an Instagram post, saying "consider me retired". Simple, no fancy statements. Almost simultaneously, one of Dhoni's best pals on and off the ground, Suresh Raina followed in his skipper's footsteps, walking together into the sunset of their international careers.
