From the beginning of IPL, there is a good rapport between Srikkanth and M.S.Dhoni . Srikkanth recommended Dhoni for his Chennai Super Kings team which is owned by Srinivasan ( Treasurer of BCCI) . As he is franchise of the team he understood Dhoni very well.Often he remarked Dhoni as Best captain of India.
The rapport became closer between them after Srikkanth elected as the chairman of Selectors.
But there is a twist in the story.
Chairman of selectors Krish Srikkanth paid a huge compliment to MS Dhoni, calling him the ''best captain in the world''. The comment drew a lot of guffaws from all and sundry. Dhoni has been just one year into the job and is still to face stern tests in his captaincy stint.
Well, Srikkanth does know his cricket and knows the toughest test for a captain comes in his second year. So when someone close to him asked him about the Dhoni comment, Srikkanth had a quick reply. ''What do machan he is not answering my calls since the leak of the selection meeting.
Atleast now I hope he will answer my calls,'' Srikkanth is learnt to have told a close associate. So there you have it Srikkanth is hoping that his praise for Dhoni will atleast make the captain take his calls. What a weird logic, but this is just confirmation of what has been widely speculated. Dhoni did indeed have a tiff with Srikkanth & Co over the exclusion of RP Singh. The meeting witnessed heated arguments which only spilled over in the form of a leak to the section of the media.
