Former Indian opening batsman Aaskash Chopra reflects on MS Dhoni's retirement from Test cricket. While he admits that "every captain has his shelf life" because of the need for a "new lease of life in terms of ideas". Chopra suggests that Dhoni choosing retire from playing as well as captaining the side may be a mistake stating "as a batsman he was turning a new leaf - the way he batted in England gave me a lot of confidence, he found a new way of scoring runs". The retiring captain's success as a test cricketer came as a surprise to the 37-year-old who "wasn't 100% convinced he'd play test cricket for India" after first seeing Dhoni play. This clip is from Sportsworld on Saturday 3 December 2015.
