NEW DELHI, Apr 7:
Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist feels India’s ODI and T20 captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni should be left alone to take a call regarding his future in international cricket as he has “earned” this right.
On the sidelines of an interactive session with school kids here today, Gilchrist, who is now Australia’s Education Ambassador to India, told reporters that the Indian skipper has “earned the rights” to take decisions on his own.
“I don’t like the fact that at this stage of a player’s career, journalists or even the public start asking these questions. I don’t see any evidence that he (Dhoni) is not upto the standards. He doesn’t get too many decisions wrong. There was a time when he felt that it was time for Test cricket when everyone asked ‘why’. Similarly, he would take a call on limited overs cricket too,” said the former wicketkeeper.
Speculations are rife that Rahul Dravid might take over the duty of coaching the Indian team.
‘Gilly’ feels that the 43-year-old former India batsman fits the bill perfectly. (PTI)
