The MS Dhoni video that proves he didn't want to leave IPL captaincy – WATCH

Dhoni, shockingly, was removed as RPS captain on Februrary 19.

New Delhi: On the eve of IPL 10 auction, cricket fans were left stunned as Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) decided to remove MS Dhoni as the captain of the team, announcing the name of Steve Smith as the skipper for new season.

While many reports claimed that Dhoni was supportive of the decision, he surely didn't see this coming and the following video confirms just that.

Dhoni had said so during India A's warm-up game with England XI ahead of the start of the ODI series between the two nations. The game was widely touted as Dhoni's last as skipper, but he himself said that he will still be captaining his IPL team and the Jharkhand team.

As the current scenario stands, his captaincy stints will only be seen for Jharkhand as long as he stays with the Pune franchise.
