The MS Dhoni-led Indian cricket team was in Australia for the Commonwealth Bank Series 2012 when the BCCI selection panel consisting of Mohinder Amarnath and Krishnamachari Srikkanth had made up their mind to elevate Virat Kohli as the new captain for Asia Cup. In the latest episode of 'Vikrant Unfiltered' on Sports Tak, it has been revealed that then BCCI president N Srinivasan stepped in and used his veto power to shun the decision of the selectors. "I remember it was a 3-4 hours flight from Hobart to Brisbane during the Commonwealth Bank Series 2012. The same day a big episode in Indian cricket almost happened. I was sitting next to MS Dhoni in the flight, and I asked him will join the selection meeting teleconference for Asia Cup 2012 after landing in Brisbane, or if that has already happened. Dhoni responded by saying 'gone are my days now, who will ask me now? (Ab hamare din kaha. Hamare se kaun puchega ab?)'. I was shocked. I thought he was joking," Vikrant Gupta said on the show. "The next day I came to know that the selection committee featuring Mohinder Amarnath had asked to change the captain. He suggested to sack Dhoni, and give the captaincy to Virat Kohli. Then BCCI president N Srinivasan intervened and shot down the suggestion, and Dhoni remained the captain in the Asia Cup," he added. "In fact, Kris Srikkanth had also the same suggestion. When the secretary phone N Srinivasan to inform about the consensus of the selection committee, he exercised the veto power given to the president, and refused from signing the team sheet," senior journalist Nikhil Naz, who was also part of the show, added Dhoni went on to lead India not only in the Asia Cup, but also in the 2015 World Cup and the 2016 T20 World Cup. India also won the Champions Trophy 2023 under Dhoni's watch, making him the only captain to win all three white-ball ICC titles. He retired from Test cricket as captain in 2014, and remained India's white-ball captain until January 2017.
