MS Dhoni though is most likely to call it a day as far as his international career is concerned. According to the reports, he is unlikely to be the part of the squad for the upcoming West Indies tour where Team India will play three T20Is, as many ODIs and a couple of Test matches. The likes of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah are also likely to be rested for the tour while a full strength team will be picked for the Test series.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli's men are stuck in Manchester due to unavailability to tickets. Virat mentioned in the press conference that he doesn't have any idea about Dhoni's retirement plans.
