'Raina started crying': Axar reveals how Indian dressing room reacted to Dhoni's sudden Test retirement

Firstpost  

Axar, who was part of the Indian touring party in Australia in the 2014-15 season, made some interesting revelations recently, including the fact that former India all-rounder Suresh Raina starting crying after Dhoni’s sudden announcement. It’s been more than seven years since MS Dhoni took the cricketing world by surprise by announcing his retirement from Test cricket midway through the tour of Australia and handing over the reigns of the team to Virat Kohli in the longest format. India and Delhi Capitals left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who was part of the Indian touring party in Australia in the 2014-15 season, made some interesting revelations recently, including the fact that former India and Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Suresh Raina starting crying. Dhoni had announced his decision to retire from the longest format right after the third Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the announcement of which was made through an email from the BCCI with no such mention being made during the post-match presentation or in the press conference.
