M S Dhoni Quit Captaincy

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's One Day International and T20 International captain, made a surprise decision to quit as skipper of both formats with immediate effect. While he will be available for selection in both formats, he does not want to continue as captain, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said in a statement. Indian Test team captain Virat Kohli is expected to be named captain in all three formats.

"On the behalf of every Indian cricket fan and the BCCI, I would like to thank MS Dhoni for his outstanding contribution as the captain of the Indian team across all formats," BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri said. "Under his leadership, Indian team has touched new heights and his achievements will remain etched forever in the annals of Indian cricket."
