DHAKA: Ravi Chandra Ashwin, the mystery Indian spinner has mounted a strong defence of MS Dhoni’s leadership saying he is ready to “die on the field” if his captain asks him to.
Series loss to Bangladesh had put Dhoni into hot water, who brushed aside the criticism of his captaincy but sarcastically equipped that if he was the source of everything that was wrong with Indian cricket, he would gladly step aside.
Here is what a visibly irked Ashwin had to say on the issue: “He is one of the star cricketers, man; he is a legend of Indian cricket. He has done so much for the nation. We can’t really forget what he has done.
“Yes I know bad results crop and all kinds of statistics crop up. With statistics you can prove whatever you want as you please. You have to give credit to the individual because he has done a lot of good things. You can’t blame him for the whole team’s performance. That’s not fair. I would say we have failed as a unit, failed as a group.
