Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni created headlines after he stepped down from limited overs captaincy, which left fans in shock. There were numerous question on this decision and the man himself have stepped up and revealed the reason why he gave up captaincy.
“I resigned from captaincy because I wanted the new captain (Virat Kohli) to get enough time for preparing a team before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019,” the 37-year-old said.
