MS Dhoni and Kohli were last seen in international cricket together in the heartbreaking loss to New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup semifinal. It was incidentally Dhoni's final international match. Kohli and Dhoni are the two cricketers who have the credit of being part of winning teams in World Cup in both the T20 and ODI format. Dhoni, in fact, was the captain of the side which won the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. Meanwhile, an IPL franchise head said that capped Indians who had not played internationals for several years were being forced to enter the auction at higher base prices and were therefore often going unsold despite going under the hammer more than once. On Thursday, ESPNCricinfo website had reported erroneously that suggestion to use this uncapped player rule had come from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in order to retain MS Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in August 2020 and played his last international match for India in 2019. Ahead of the mega auction, Dhoni was retained by CSK for Rs 12 crores.   Sat, 03 Aug 2024 08:46:18 am
