Harbhajan, Yuvraj refuse to comment on Dhoni's retirement

"I will not say anything as I have nothing to say," said Harbhajan, who is leading Punjab against Saurashtra in the ongoing Ranji Trophy group B match here.
   
His teammate Yuvraj Singh was tight-lipped when reporters asked for his reaction at the end of the third day's Ranji Trophy match.
   
Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday surprised the cricket world with his sudden announcement of immediate retirement from Test cricket, making way for Virat Kohli to don the mantle of captaincy.

Announcement of Dhoni's retirement after the wicketkeeper-batsman had played in 90 Test matches, 60 of them as captain, was made immediately after India lost the current Test series to Australia following a drawn third Test here.

"One of India's greatest Test Captains under whose leadership India became the No. 1 team in the Test Rankings MS Dhoni, has decided to retire from Test Cricket citing the strain of playing all formats of Cricket," the BCCI said in a statement.
