SYDNEY: The Indian cricket team flew in here and largely spent the day indoors even as there was intense speculation over Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s decision to quit the Test format with immediate effect, which surprised the cricket fraternity. In Pics: Dhoni’s roller-coaster ride as Test captain A day after the BCCI announced Dhoni’s retirement from Test cricket, citing strains of playing in all three formats, the Indian team management chose to remain tight-lipped on the development. Dhoni, who himself did not speak about his retirement in the post-match press conference and the preceding presentation ceremony, travelled with the team but did not interact with the media. The 33-year old Dhoni’s retirement came as a bolt from the blue as the Indian captain had not given any hint about his impending decision although pressure was mounting on him to give up Test captaincy in view of his poor overseas track record.
