Former England captain Nasser Hussain warned the people to not push MS Dhoni into retirement this early. He further added that such players are born once in a generation. 

MS Dhoni last played for India in the World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand. In the match, the Kiwis outshined the Indians. Since then there has been no news of MS making a comeback in the Indian team. 

Earlier there were speculations that Mahi will return in the National team after IPL 2020. However, things have gone for a toss after the outbreak of coronavirus in the world.

Also, the 52-year-old didn’t shy away from pointing out the mistakes of the former Indian captain during the 2019 World Cup. Without taking the name of the match he has talking about, Hussain revealed that there were few games where MS failed to force the pace of the innings.

He admitted, “Yes, it’s been one or two occasions where he (MSD) got it wrong in run-chases. There was a World Cup game in England where he sort of blocked at the end for some unknown reason, but in general MS Dhoni is still a really good talent and be careful what you wish for,”
