MS Dhoni shares video on Instagram to announce retirement

An era of cricket also came to an end with the 39-year-old Dhoni's decision to write several golden chapters in the history of Indian cricket with captaincy in non-traditional style and the art of leading the match.

Dhoni wrote on his Instagram, 'Thank you for your love and support so far. Think of me as retired since 7.29 pm. Dhoni last played in the ODI World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. Since then, his retirement was being speculated, but he was silent. Now when he arrived to join the Chennai camp for the IPL, he announced his decision.
