New era for India starting in the New Year… Full of surprises MSD but the right decision. Well Done MSD !! — Russel Arnold (@RusselArnold69) December 30, 2014

The helicopter has landed ! Well played @msdhoni — vikram sathaye (@vikramsathaye) December 30, 2014

Hats off to @msdhoni for his contribution to Ind Cric. He has also developed a worthy successor in @imVkohli so no crisis of leadership! — Venky Mysore (@VenkyMysore) December 30, 2014

Whichever way, you look at it, it’s been a wonderful career. He’s staying on to play his stronger suit. #Dhoni — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 30, 2014

One can fault Mahendra Singh Dhoni for a lot of things, but not for his timing or his cool clarity in taking decisions. #MSD — Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) December 30, 2014

Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India won top prize in all formats: No.1 Test ranking, WC in 2011, World T20 on his captaincy debut #thankyoudhoni — Nibandh (@nibandh) December 30, 2014

Valiant while you led. Valiant in your departure. #Respect @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/w6xdnebG3s — Suresh Raina (@ImRaina) December 30, 2014

Love the way @msdhoni plays the game … But it’s now the right time for @imVkohli to take the Indian Test team in a new direction….. — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) December 30, 2014

Irony is that the retirement comes after Steve Smith shaking hands with 6 overs & 4 wkts to go. #MSD — Subash Jayaraman (@thecricketcouch) December 30, 2014

Ricky Ponting described Dhoni as “a great competitor, and someone who I think Indian cricket owes a lot to” http://t.co/tzmrLrS8RH #AUSvIND — cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) December 30, 2014

10 more for 100 tests. 124 more for 5000 test runs. This is a man who doesn’t care for landmarks. He is a landmark! #AusvInd #ThankYouDHONI — Thank You DHONI (@RDBalaji) December 30, 2014

Terribly emotional moment. True Mahi style. Thank you, Captain! — Prithi Ashwin (@prithinarayanan) December 30, 2014

What to say. This was not expected. Mahi you are champ and inspiration of bilion indian heart — Arun Pandey, (@ArunPandey99) December 30, 2014

Wonder what happened there? #Dhoni — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 30, 2014

I had a feeling that when he chise to go, it would be sudden. But not quite as sudden as this. #Dhoni — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 30, 2014

MS Dhoni retires from Test Cricket ,he’s been a fine leader of India! First Kholi has the energy and passion to take over now. #Testcricket — Robert Croft (@RDBCroft10) December 30, 2014

We should stand & applaud for all those Memorable Moments which Mahi has given to Test Cricket.✌:”) #ThankyouDhoni @msdhoni — A Muskeeter (@AMuskeeter) December 30, 2014

Dhoni appeared impressively cool under duress but to suggest he was a great Test captain is spinning it more than Prasanna & Bedi ever did — Derek Pringle (@derekpringle) December 30, 2014

Time to move on for Dhoni …. Kohli will step up very well IMO — David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd (@BumbleCricket) December 30, 2014

@the_topspin Perfect time for Kohli and for Dhoni to concentrate on his Cement Business . He is Vice President — David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd (@BumbleCricket) December 30, 2014

If you have made the decision and lost the series,better to give someone else a chance. More of this should have happened on last tour. #MSD — cricBC (@cricBC) December 30, 2014

Congratulations on a fine Test career, irrespective of the mounting series defeats. Lord’s 2007’s match-saving knock my pick. #Dhoniretires — Tanmoy Mookherjee (@tanmoym) December 30, 2014

Dhoni took the stump after the match as he was retiring from tests. Understandable. — Aditya (@forwardshortleg) December 30, 2014

Anhoni ko honi ker de Honi ko anhoni Aik dafa sab zor se bolo Goodbye Captain MS Dhoni… (you know the tune to sing it to) — karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) December 30, 2014

Dhoni. “U don’t really know what was going on in my mind & so don’t speculate as to what was going on in my mind. just leave that for me. — Peter Lalor (@plalor) December 30, 2014

MS Dhoni as India Test captain At home: P 30 W 21 L 3 D 6 Away: P 30 W 6 L 15 D 9 Total: P 60 W 27 L 18 D 15 #AUSvIND #INDvsAUS — Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) December 30, 2014

“No, No…Lokesh Rahul’s dismissals had nothing to do with my retirement” #DhoniRetires — Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) December 30, 2014

Well done Dhoni. This takes guts too. #AUSvIND #DhoniRetires — Ashish Magotra (@clutchplay) December 30, 2014

How good was Dhoni the Test captain? A great record at home but he had 15 defeats and 6 wins away from home out of 30. #DhoniRetires — Ashish Magotra (@clutchplay) December 30, 2014

My feeling that if the series was alive, Dhoni wouldn’t have retired. But now that it isn’t maybe thought no point in dragging his body more — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 30, 2014

I’m sure Dhoni had decided to retire in 2014. And as usual, he did it with only a day to spare. #DhoniRetires — Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) December 30, 2014

MS Dhoni showed India what a tough man from a small town could dream and achieve. He has been a role model. Respect. #DhoniRetires — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) December 30, 2014

Bit shocked at the timing of Dhoni’s Test retirement. Was sure he’d leave it until the toss in Sydney to announce he wouldn’t be playing. — Pavilion Opinions (@pavilionopinion) December 30, 2014

With the greatest test captain india will ever have and great human #wewillmissyouinwhites pic.twitter.com/zJQOGpfVyH — russell (@russcsk) December 30, 2014

@msdhoni well done on your test career. You’re a great ambassador for cricket for all. Enjoy playing with the white ball mate! #DhoniRetires — Azhar Mahmood (@AzharMahmood11) December 30, 2014

Respect to MS Dhoni for retiring from Tests. Plenty have dragged out their careers, he’s given India a chance for a fresh start. — Alt Cricket (@AltCricket) December 30, 2014

Congratulations to MS Dhoni on an excellent test career. Still going to play ODI/T20. Someone will have big shoes to fill!? — Mark Ramprakash (@MarkRamprakash) December 30, 2014

Bailed India out with his strongest asset in the final innings as a Test player…calm under pressure. #DhoniRetires — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) December 30, 2014

Last time AUS and IND played a draw, it was Anil Kumble’s last Test and Dhoni became captain. Today, Dhoni’s last Test. Kohli new captain. — Mazher Arshad (@cricket_U) December 30, 2014

When a players time is up,it’s up. Those that slammed Swann for going mid series will pile into MSD? Well done on going on your terms MSD. — Iain O’Brien (@iainobrien) December 30, 2014

It’s been clear for a while that he is more comfortable with the limited overs game; both as a captain and a player. #DhoniRetires — Vikram Chandra (@vikramchandra) December 30, 2014

90 tests in 9 years..nice round numbers aren’t really his thing! go well champ #DhoniRetires — Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) December 30, 2014
