Sunil Gavaskar takes a subtle dig at MS Dhoni

With India loosing ICC tournaments on a consistent basis, legendry cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has become a recent figure asking for more accountability to be taken by the captains and coaches of the team.

During an interview, the former India captain spoke out about the security that modern Indian captains enjoy, with criticism targeted towards how they were allowed to continue on without any questions asked.

“Whether you win or lose, the captain knows that he is going to be there. This has not been a recent case, mind you. This has been happening since 2011. There have been results where we have been wiped out in the series 0-4, 0-4 but the captain has not changed,” said the Little Master.

Gavaskar’s comment was clearly directed to MS Dhoni who was captain on the disastrous tours of England and Australia in the 2011-12 season. Although the Captain Cool had clinched the World Cup for India earlier in the year, the Test team was blown out of the water by their hosts despite being No.1 in the world at the time. Not only were those two tours routs, with both England Australia whitewashing India with 4-0 victories, the performances were miserable from the Indians.
