Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement will leave a huge void in Indian cricket. The right-hander made quite an impact with the bat lower down the order and also excelled as the captain in Test cricket in what proved to be an impressive career in the longer format.

Dhoni finished as the most successful Indian skipper with 27 wins from 60 Tests for a success percentage of 45.

The only blemish was India's poor overseas record under his captaincy, with just six wins from 30 matches as compared to 21 wins from the same number of matches at home.

Dhoni was a very handy batsman down the order and was capable of changing the course of a match in a matter of a few overs. The right-hander finished with a healthy batting record of 4876 runs in 90 Tests at an average of 38, while accounting for 256 catches and 38 stumpings behind the wickets.
