When the hashtag #DhoniRetires started trending on Twitter, there were certain speculations took rise regarding the retirement of the former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni. However, soon after a new hashtag took its place among the top trends – #DhoniNeverTires and it was enough proof that the earlier claims were nothing but rumors.

Later Dhoni’s wife Sakshi too slammed the claims, but later on, went on to delete the tweet. Now, Keshav Banerjee, Dhoni’s childhood coach, has cleared the air saying when the time for announcing retirement comes, a proper press conference will be held.

During a chat with IANS, Banerjee said, “Dhoni is not the kind of person who will call up people and tell them ‘I am retiring’. He knows how to do it. When he will feel it is time, he will inform BCCI and call a proper press conference and do all the things that need to be done. Like he did when he called time on his Test career.”

Banerjee also advised people shouldn’t be believing on the social media trends claiming a lot of them end up being fake news anyway.

Dhoni’s childhood coach added, “You don’t go by social media. There are many things that become ‘trends’ but end up as fake news. I don’t know why people are after Dhoni. I know him well and I can tell you, he will let all of us know when he thinks he has to retire.”

Speculations continue to hover like dark clouds over Dhoni’s international career as he has been on a sabbatical from competitive cricket since the ICC Cricket World Cup last year. The indefinite suspension of IPL, which was to be the platform where Dhoni would launch his India comeback, has only fanned the rumors.
