Chief Selector MSK Prasad seems to have played a role in the surprise decision of Mahendra Singh Dhoni to step down as India's ODI & T20 Skipper.

Dhoni was in Nagpur recently in support of Jharkhand Team playing Ranji Trophy Semifinal against Gujarat. Even Chief Selector MSK Prasad was present at the stadium to have a look at young bunch of players. Dhoni & MSK had interactions on the field over the future of Indian cricket on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was after this conversation, Jharkhand Dynamite announced that he is stepping down as a skipper but available for selection to represent country in upcoming series.

Analysts expected Dhoni to continue as skipper till 2017 Champions Trophy and take a call on retirement after that. To their surprise, He resigned as skipper much earlier but wishes to play for few more years. Dhoni's form and captaincy has come under criticism off late.

Speaking about the surprise decision, MSK Prasad opined, 'Probably, Dhoni felt this is the right time to step down. Let's respect it!'.
