Ever since Dhoni took a break from cricket after India's exit from the 2019 World Cup in England, rumours about the 38-year-old's retirement have been doing the rounds. He has since trained with his regiment in the Territorial Indian Army, made a handful of public appearances and also recently met with Virat Kohli's team after India's victory over South Africa in the Ranchi Test.
