Team India skipper Dhoni banned for two ODIs | Indian skipper Mahender Singh Dhoni was on Saturday banned for two one-day internationals (ODIs) due to the team's slow over-rate, during the second one-day international
match against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. Dhoni will now not be able to play in the
third and fourth one-day internationals that will be played in Cuttack and Kolkata
on December 21 and 24. The decision to impose the ban on Dhoni was taken by Match
referee JJ Crowe, who found Team India guilty of a slow over rate during the Nagpur
ODI and the extra time taken to complete their allotted fifty overs. The five
match ODI series is now tied, with both the teams winning one match each. India
opener Gautam Gambhir is likely to be named the captain for the next two ODIs
in the absence of Dhoni. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has
however, not made any official announcement on who will lead the side in the absence
of the regular skipper. |
