The BCCI selection committee made a bold decision to drop India’s only World T20 winning captain and an icon of Indian cricket, MS Dhoni from the T20I squads for the series against West Indies and Australia.
On Saturday afternoon, however, Prasad appeared somewhat wary of an elaborate conversation focusing on the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
“We’re looking at a second ’keeper, so Rishabh Pant is there and DK (Dinesh Karthik) hasn’t done badly either... Both, therefore, are in the T20I squads which we announced late on Friday,” Prasad told The Telegraph.
However, the big question asked to Prasad was whether MS Dhoni was taken into confidence while taking this decision, and Prasad revealed Dhoni’s reaction to the news.
Prasad said, “Oh yes... Yes. I myself spoke to MS and I must say he was most gracious. I explained our need to look at a second ’keeper and MS graciously supported the idea.”
