MS Dhoni, the Indian captain, has been banned for two ODIs because India maintained a slow over-rate during the second match against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. The ban is likely to be effective immediately, which means Dhoni will be unavailable for the games in Cuttack and Kolkata, returning only for the final ODI in Delhi.
The second ODI ended about 45 minutes after the scheduled finish time because of frequent discussions between the Indian players during the closing stages of Sri Lanka’s chase. The visitors won the game by three wickets to level the five-match series 1-1. The decision to ban Dhoni was taken by match referee Jeff Crowe.
Yes. I dont know whats wrong with the captains (specially desi captains). I m sure they know that ban is looming over them and they should try to make things tight.
Penalty of $$ is fine but ban is there
Now dhoni is not only the keeper of the team. He is captain and one of the best performing batsman and India is bound to suffer.
