'The greatest cricketing brain the game has seen'

Dhoni handing over the captaincy is big news (after all he is CSK!) but not entirely surprising given the person he is. I don't think he will play every game either. Just like him. (Will miss those wonderful presentations with him though!)

We use the expression "end of an era" very loosely sometimes. But Dhoni giving up the captaincy of @ChennaiIPL is truly the end of an era for all those loyal fans with whom he forged a relationship of the kind very few have.

@msdhoni has given the cricketing world a body of knowledge on captaincy & a clear pathway on how to lead successfully. A special player who leaves an indelible mark on this great game. Congrats & thank you MSD, another fascinating chapter comes to an end in your cricket story 👏🏼

Just when you think he's surprised you for the last time.....

Dhoni handing over captaincy to Jadeja is a move in the right direction. Expected this the day Jadeja was the first retention of CSK this year. Under Dhoni he will grow as a player and captain, but like Kohli, his real test will be once Dhoni bids goodbye
