Dhoni making himself unavailable for Windies and South Africa series invited criticism from cricket pundits, who suggested that the 38-year-old shouldn't be picking and choosing series and the Indian selectors should have a chat with wicket-keeper batsman over his future plans.
While some experts feels that the veteran's 'time is up' and he should hang his boots to give chance to young players, many believe that a great player like Dhoni knows when to say goodbye for the final time.
