MS Dhoni willing to quit as captain if that can change things in favor of the Indian team: After Bangladesh scripted a historic series win against India on Sunday, Indian limited overs captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that he is willing to relinquish his captaincy post if that can help Indian cricket move in the right direction. India were comprehensively beaten by six wickets in the rain-hit second ODI to lose the three-match series. Dhoni had to face a lot of tough questions from the reporters following the game and all questions invariably seemed to center around his future as captain.
In the post match Press Conference Dhoni said: “I am always the one who is responsible for anything bad that happens in Indian cricket. Everything that happens is because of me. Even the Bangladesh media is smiling,”
“I am really enjoying my cricket. But when the earlier question was asked, I knew this question was coming. These are the questions that will keep popping up. The media loves me. If it is a justifiable thing that if you remove me and the Indian cricket will start doing really well, and if I am the reason for all the bad that is happening to Indian cricket, definitely I would love to step away and play as a player,” he added.
“It doesn’t matter who is the captain. I was never really in line to become a captain. It was a job or responsibility for me. I have taken that responsibility. It was given to me, I took it. If they want to take it away, I am happy to give it away,” he said.
