GAUTAM GAMBHIR CRITICISES MS DHONI FOR HIS ROTATION POLICY

Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir is known to be a very outspoken person. He has also been vocal about his opinions and views. His cold war with former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has always made headlines. 

Gambhir is recently again in the news after he went on to criticised him on his rotation policy. At a recent interview, Gambhir slammed at Dhoni’s rotation policy which was used in Australia during the CB Series in 2012 and called it “a crap”.

"I believe that one should follow the captain’s decision but it (rotation policy) was complete crap. You started with the rotation policy but played all the three in the must-win games. If you make a decision, back your decision, stick to it," Gambhir said in the interview. 

Further slamming out at Dhoni, Gambhir said that a player can only give his best on the field when he feels secured.

“I was made to feel secure just once. During that phase only, I became the ICC Test Player of the Year. India won the triangular series just once in Australia and I was the highest run-scorer. India won a Test series once in 40 years in New Zealand and I was the Man of the Series. I score five consecutive hundreds. This is why it is important to make young players feel secure,” Gambhir said.
