Sachin Tendulkar said during a conversation on Geo Cinema, “Sharad Pawar was the President of BCCI in the year 2007. He asked me to take charge of the Indian team. My body was not well.
I Had A Good Opinion About Mahendra Singh Dhoni:-
I don’t think the team should have a captain who repeatedly goes to the dressing room to get his ankle treated and shows his shoulders. This is not a good thing for our team. My view was good about Mahendra Singh Dhoni.”
Tendulkar further said, “I used to field in slip. During this period, I used to talk to Dhoni a lot. I used to ask him what did you just do? His answer was quite balanced. He used to give very correct answers.
At That Time I Told The BCCI President:-
His answers were spontaneous and the way he was aware of what was happening on the field. That was amazing. At the same time, I had told the BCCI President that he has leadership qualities. He can be put forward for captaincy.”
Team India had captured the ODI World Cup title for the second time by defeating Sri Lanka (India vs Sri Lanka) at Wankhede Stadium, almost 11 years ago on 2 April 2011.
