Melbourne: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday made light of the criticism he is facing in the wake of continuing poor results by saying that a review of his leadership can be done only through a PIL.
India suffered a third successive series defeat under Dhoni when the side conceded an unassailable 0-3 lead to Australia following a three-wicket loss in the third ODI here.
“There will be a conflict of interest if I start reviewing my performance. We would have to put a PIL to judge my performance as the skipper,” Dhoni said jokingly at the post match press conference.
On a serious note, he argued that the team’s faltering bowling unit is just not experienced
enough.
“It is not about the leader. I am captain at the moment and somebody else will come later. It is more important to see the areas we are lacking, the departments which have to improve when it comes to shorter formats.
Dhoni lauded the progress Kohli has made in his career. Talking about the outcome of Sunday’s match, Dhoni blamed poor fielding for the defeat. (PTI)
