Sting Newz Service: After legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar has batted for wicketkeeper-batsman M.S. Dhoni asking him not to retire from the game. Following India’s exit from the World Cup after their shocking defeat to New Zealand in the semifinals, speculations have been rife that Dhoni would soon retire from the game.
However, Akhtar feels Dhoni — whose understanding of the game is an advantage for the team — has a lot of cricket still left in him.
“As a middle order batsman or a wicket keeper, M.S. Dhoni is totally dependable and trustworthy. Virat is graceful enough to accept that Dhoni’s understanding of game is an advantage for the team. One can see that a lot of cricket is still left in him. Why even talk about his retirement,” tweeted Akhtar on Friday.
