MS Dhoni retired from all forms of international cricket on August 15, 2020. Despite, retiring from the international field, Dhoni has kept on proving his leadership mettle in IPL. Ever since Dhoni’s departure as the captain of the Indian cricket team, the Men in Blue have failed to win an ICC trophy.
Team India’s most recent defeat in an ICC tournament occurred in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) against Australia. With the World Cup right around the corner, the Rohit Sharma-led side will be aiming to redeem themselves on the international stage this year.
