Clearly Dhoni thinks the moment has come. Thought he would quit after the Champions Trophy, but this is a selfless move.

World T20, World Cup, Champions Trophy, Test No 1, IPL titles, Champions League titles. Everything in the game. #Dhoni

Many memories, many emotions. But typical of a man who never hogged the limelight; even as captain of a World Cup winning team.

Trying to think like #Dhoni. Kohli most likely 2019 World Cup captain, so best that he leads in the Champions Trophy so best he starts now.

Good thing about this decision is that there is still no competition for Dhoni.Would be keen to know who he consulted though! Suspect nobody

All things considered though, Dhoni has taken the right decision. Over the last year, this had become Kohli’s team.
