‘Let’s have some fun’: When MS Dhoni turned the tables and became a reporter to answer his retirement question | Cricket News

3 min readMar 1, 2026 03:01 PM IST Retirement had already become a theme around MS Dhoni long before that famous press conference in 2016. In fact, it had begun with a moment that stunned Indian cricket. In December 2014, midway through a Test series in Australia, Dhoni abruptly stepped away from Test cricket. There had been no long farewell tour, no build-up, no grand goodbye. One day, he was India’s Test captain; the next, he had called time on the format entirely. It was classic Dhoni – decisive, unexpected and entirely on his own terms. But if that decision closed one chapter, it also quietly sharpened focus on what remained. Limited-overs cricket was now his domain, and there was one tournament in particular he had in mind. After India’s campaign ended in the 2015 ODI World Cup semifinal in Australia, Dhoni had hinted that the next big goal was clear: the 2016 T20 World Cup at home. India would host the event, and it felt like a stage perfectly set for one more run …

Arbaaz Khan snaps at reporter for bringing up Salman Khan’s support during event: ‘Everyone’s helpful, not a unique quality in one actor or family’ | Bollywood News

Arbaaz Khan recently lost his cool at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Kaal Trighori after a reporter asked him about his brother and superstar Salman Khan instead of focusing on his film. The incident began when the reporter brought up Salman’s helpful nature and the family’s reputation for supporting others.

However, the reporter insisted, “We already know the stories about Salman Khan…” Arbaaz interrupted him and said, “What stories do you know?
