MS Dhoni's Last Test Match: Against Australia in 2014

MS Dhoni played his last test match against Australia in 2014 during the third match of a 4-match test series. This match was part of what many consider to be India's greatest test cricket captain's final moments in international cricket. After this match, Dhoni decided to retire from test cricket to focus more on One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).

The 2014–15 season saw a significant change in Indian cricket, as Dhoni chose to step down from his test captaincy role post the third test series against Australia. The retirement of Dhoni in test cricket was a major event in Indian cricket history.

The last match of this series against Australia came to be known as the last test for the 'captain cool', as his last ball bowled to him was by Shane Watson. This match was particularly poignant as it played out on the second and third tests of India's tour of Australia, and was the retirement test not just for Dhoni but also for the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

During this tour, Dhoni captained India in the second and third tests, with the series standing at 2–0 in favor of Australia after the second test. The third test, played in Melbourne, marked the end of Dhoni's test cricket career and he announced his retirement from the format after this match.

These matches were significant in cementing Dhoni's legacy in test cricket, showcasing his leadership and skill under pressure. Not only did he play his last series against Australia in 2014, but he also ended his test career alongside the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, marking a historical moment in Indian cricket.
