According to cricket journalist Vimal Kumar, Dhoni later said that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should never be judged by their age. He believes both legends are still fit, hungry, and have plenty of cricket left in them.

Here are my two cents after seeing a lot of outrage about T20 World Cup final tickets.
Here is a reality check for some of our friends. Tickets went on sale 24 Feb, 7 PM onwards and I did even post a tweet before tickets went on sale. Anyone serious about attending could get them. I got mine after waiting 20–25 mins in the queue. At that time no one even knew if India would qualify, so demand was lower.
Now India has made the final and suddenly everyone wants tickets, and all blame is now thrown to black marketers or BookMyShow. Few went onto abuse me via lewd comments because I was selling my one ticket which I had bought for my wife, who couldn't travel. Mind you, im from Karnal, Haryana and despite that I was okay to travel to Ahmedabad to watch world cup finals irrespective of whosoever was playing.
Once in a decade moment!
Ask yourself honestly: if you’re a true cricket lover, what stopped you from buying tickets earlier for a World Cup final in India after 10 years, irrespective of who played?
Same mindset was visible for the 1 March South Africa vs Zimbabwe match. Many had pre-assumed Australia would qualify and face South Africa, so tickets were bought expecting an Australia game. When Zimbabwe qualified instead, people suddenly wanted to sell their tickets.
If we want to truly be the home of cricket, we must change this attitude and be more sporting as a nation.
This blame game must stop.
