Mahendra Singh Dhoni took the cricket world by surprise when he suddenly announced he was stepping down as India's limited overs captain about a week ago.
The 35-year old wicket-keeper has retired from Test cricket in 2014 but continued to lead the team in ODIs and T20Is.
India's Test captain Virat Kohli was then appointed to lead the team in all formats of the game.
