Mahendra Singh Dhoni has stepped down as skipper of India's limited overs sides, in a typical understated manner. The Board of Control for Control in India announced his decision on Wednesday.
Dhoni, however, will be available for selection for the three-match One-Day International (ODI) and T20 International series against England, starting 15 January.
Dhoni has been India's most successful captain. Under his leadership India have won the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007, the ICC ODI World Cup in 2011, ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 and also reached the top of the Test rankings in 2009. Here are some other records he holds.
