Chief selector M.S.K. Prasad lauds the iconic player’s sense of responsibility and commitment
To give up something you love can be excruciating. Retirement from a successful sporting vocation has always evoked varied responses. Some bow out with dignity, some need to be pushed out.
In cricket, captaincy comes with lot of privilege. And responsibility too. When to give up the role is a decision few have made at the right time. M.S. Dhoni ranks among the top in this regard after he making himself available for selection only as a player.
Was Dhoni compelled to take the painful decision to quit captaincy? National selection committee chairman M.S.K. Prasad insisted that it was his call. “It was Dhoni’s decision and quite a graceful one. It shows his responsibility towards Indian cricket,” he emphasised.
Prasad, much like previous selection committee chairman Sandeep Patil, was only following the long-standing tradition of engaging senior players, including captains, in a stock-taking exercise.
