World Cup 2019: 'He hasn't told us anything yet', says Kohli on Dhoni's retirement

While speaking at the press conference, India skipper Virat Kohli was asked whether Dhoni has spoken anything to him or the team about his retirement

New Zealand made it to their second successive final, with credit going to their pacers' -- Matt Henry (3/37) and Trent Boult's (2/42) -- deadly opening spell and Lockie Ferguson's steely nerve in the penultimate over. India skipper Virat Kohli was once again out cheaply and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (50) was stuck in the middle overs. Mitchell Santner (2/34) bottled Dhoni up and there was too much left for Jadeja to do even as he smacked four sixes and four boundaries to raise hopes of a turnaround. Call it irony, Dhoni, in what could be his last international innings, was run-out by a direct throw from Martin Guptill. This was after Dhoni and Jadeja raised visions of an improbable win after adding 116 runs for the seventh wicket, coming together at 92 for six. While speaking at the press conference, India skipper Virat Kohli was asked whether Dhoni has spoken anything to him or the team about his retirement. Here’s what Virat said: 'Dhoni hasn't told us anything (about his retirement) yet' Regarded as the best finisher in modern cricket, Dhoni, sadly couldn't finish an important game, which possibly could turn out to be his final match. From 24/4 to getting it this close, Dhoni along with Jadeja came up with an unbelievable effort to stage a fight back but ultimately it were the Kiwis who emerged victorious to qualify for the finals of the WC 2019. India skipper Virat Kohli said that New Zealand deserved to as they put India under more pressure; the way Kiwis bowled was what made the difference. “The first half, we were very, very good. We got what we needed at that point. We thought we had restricted New Zealand to a chaseable score but the way they come out with the ball was what made the difference. I think it was the skill level on display (from NZ bowlers) was there for all to see. Jadeja had a really good couple of games and it's his performances that are a huge positive. New Zealand deserve it, they put us under more pressure.” said skipper Kohli. “At times, I think our shot-selection could have been better. Really proud of the way we competed throughout the tournament. As I said, come the knockouts, New Zealand were braver than us and deserve to win. Thanks to all the fans, thanks for coming out in huge numbers.” he added.
