Unfazed MS Dhoni overrules selectors

NEW DELHI: Despite facing humiliation in the second Test, Indian skipper MS Dhoni didn't allow selectors to make any change in the squad for the third Test against England to be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata starting December 5.

According to Times Now, selectors were in favour of reshuffle but Dhoni overruled them and decided to continue with the same squad in Kolkata.

Reports suggest that selectors wanted inclusion of a leg-spinner Amit Mishra to give variety to Indian spin attack. However, an unfazed Dhoni, backed by coach Duncan Fletcher and bowling coach Joe Dawes, reposed faith on the spin trio of R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha and Harbhajan Singh despite their failure to exploit the pitch in Mumbai which was tailor made to suit India's demands.

India lost the Mumbai Test by 10 wickets inside four days and there was intense speculation a leg-spinner would be drafted into the squad to bring more variety in the spin department.

Harbhajan retained his place in the squad despite picking up two wickets in the Mumbai Test where he bowled just 23 overs unlike Ashwin and Ojha who sent down nearly 45 overs each.

Also retained was senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who has been going through a prolonged form slump, his last 10 innings yielding just 153 runs at an average of 15.3, the lowest by an Indian top-order batsman in the corresponding period.
