Gautam Gambhir stands by MS Dhoni, says ICC should focus on cricket

India TV News  

Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir has come out in support of M S Dhoni in the gloves controversy, saying ICC's job is not to look at who is wearing what. Gambhir, who played a big part in India's 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup winning campaigns, said the ICC should instead look into the World Cup being a run-fest and pitches that are suiting batsmen. India's opening game in the ongoing World Cup saw Dhoni once again profess his love for the security forces after he was spotted with the regimental dagger insignia of the Indian Para Special Forces on his wicketkeeping gloves. While the BCCI asked the ICC to allow Dhoni to continue sporting the insignia, the game's governing body rejected the plea, saying that the regulations for ICC events do not permit any individual message and that the logo also breaches the regulations in relation to what is permitted on wicketkeeping gloves.
