Alex Carey, Australia WK: "When you look at the best in the world like MS Dhoni, you want to learn as much as you can from him. I was lucky enough to play against him last year, just the way he took the game deep and won the games for India. I aspire to do that one-day."
But will his body be able to cope with the demands only he will answer. The rest would have done him a world of good, mentally. That mental fatigue would have gone away by now."
Ravi Shastri:
"How many people would have retired after playing 94 Test matches? And a farewell for his 100th Test match could have been in Ranchi, could have been anywhere. It would have been a full house. Dhoni says, 'The gloves belong to Wriddhiman Saha. Take it. Off I go'.
If he decides to play, which he will because he will play the IPL, then he will start training with a very fresh mind. Then you have got to see the form. He is finished with Test cricket. T20 is an option. It's a format that is tailor-made for him.
I have always said when I was left out and the entire world said 'I will never make it.' I came back and played for 4 years. Champions don't finish very quickly."
Sourav Ganguly: "I don't know what's in Dhoni's mind. India is very proud to have MS Dhoni. Till I am around everybody will be respected. Dhoni's achievements make India proud. I am yet to talk to him. I will have a word soon with one of the greats of the Indian game.
"Dhoni knows the potential of every player and to what extent a player should be backed. That’s the quality of a big leader. He knows how to make a champion out of a player. India’s success during his captaincy justifies this. His control is his biggest quality." ~ Shikhar Dhawan
“I always wanted to be a perfect decision maker. But not having @msdhoni by my side ruined it for me” says ground umpire in a chat with third umpire about #MissionDRS
