MS Dhoni is mentioned in Australia Great’s view on Ravindra Jadeja Row: ‘I didn’t make one…’

Former Australian cricket team skipper Michael Clarke has named MS Dhoni while giving his verdict on the controversy surrounding Ravindra Jadeja’s interview ahead of the Boxing Day Test match. In the first media interaction before the match, Jadeja answered questions only in Hindi – a decision that left Australian journalists furious. Akash Deep followed suit and this further escalated the situation with the local media. Even Virat Kohli had a verbal spat with Australian journalists at Melbourne airport.

Clarke said not much has changed when it comes to Indian cricketers’ media interactions and recalled that MS Dhoni did not address the media even once during an entire tour while he was captain.

“I don’t think much has changed, to be honest. I’ve seen Indian teams come here, and their captain, MS Dhoni, didn’t do a single press conference during the entire Test series. So Sachin was very restrictive when he chose to work in the media, I think it’s been the same for a long time, so I like the fact that they always host someone,” he said. stated on the show Around the Wicket from ESPN.

Clarke also pointed out that it was head coach Gautam Gambhir who set the tone with his pre-series press conference where he took a shot at Ricky Ponting over his comments on Virat Kohli.

“I think they made it pretty clear before they left India what they’re going to look like when they get to Australia. They’re going to keep to themselves, stick to their plan. Gambhir made that very clear at the premiere. press conference. So I don’t know why anyone is surprised, and for them it would be what’s happening on the field, not off the field.”

“So I don’t think even discussing it would upset India too much,” Clarke added.
