The World Cup-winning all-rounder opined that since Dhoni has done so much for Indian cricket he should be given the option to decide on his career.
“He needs to decide when he wants to go out. He needs to take that call. If he wants to still play, that’s his call and we need to respect that,” Yuvraj went on to add.
Before Yuvraj, India legend Sunil Gavaskar had stated to India Today that the time had come for Dhoni to go and that he should retire before being pushed out while Sourav Ganguly had opined that Dhoni must himself decide whether he is still good enough to win matches for India.
Yuvraj was also asked about Rishabh Pant, the young wicketkeeper-batsman struggling to fit into the big shoes of Dhoni. The former all-rounder, who announced his retirement recently, felt comparing the youngster with the legendary Dhoni would be unfair.
“How they get the best out of Pant is completely based on his character. You have to understand his psychology and then work with that. If you are going to suppress him, you won’t get the best out of him," he went on to add about Pant.
Pant struggled in the T20 series against South Africa and had constantly threw his wicket away during the tour of West Indies.
