5 reasons why MS Dhoni has more haters in India than other countries
Life of Indian captains is tough and for MS Dhoni, things have been no different.
1. Ousting senior players due to fitness reasons
Perhaps the biggest of all the reasons, MS Dhoni is accused to have sidelined many senior players who weren’t maintaining good fitness levels. Some of the names which were excluded from the limited-overs squad include Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Anil Kumble.
The names mentioned above are just too huge to be excluded for a reason like fielding in those days, and the backlash was vehement. In the long run, it turned out to be a masterstroke as the Indian fielding standards have risen so high. But Dhoni is still criticized for the ousting of these cricketers.
The case intensified when the likes Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag were ousted from the squad, which was different reasons, but it was MS Dhoni at the receiving end. His career had many dramatic chapters but his relation with senior cricketers was perhaps the most intricate and awkward one.
