Call on retirement is entirely up to him: Watson on Dhoni

TIL Desk Sports/ A lot has been said on the issue of M.S. Dhoni”s retirement as it has swiftly become a matter of debate in Indian cricket. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson feels that the Ranchi stumper is still at the height of his powers and the decision to hang up his boots is entirely up to him.

“He has still got the skill. But it is down to him to decide. He still moves incredibly well, runs hard between the wickets and has beautiful hands. Whatever he does, it will be the right thing because he knows what lies ahead,” Watson told reporters on Monday on the sidelines of an event here.

The Aussie all-rounder, who has also played under Dhoni in Chennai Super Kings (CSK), praised Virat Kohli”s captaincy, saying he has done a great job with the Indian team. “He (Kohli) has done a great job with the Indian team. He has been playing so well in all formats. Whatever he is doing right now is certainly working and the team is responding to his leadership,” he added.
