Ex-India cricketer blames MS Dhoni for ending his career – 'It was captain's call'

Irfan Pathan has attributed the premature end of his career to MS Dhoni's decisions as captain. Despite early success and comparisons to legends, Pathan's place in the team was questioned from 2009. He claims that Gary Kirsten, the coach at the time, indicated that Dhoni was responsible for his exclusion, favoring Yusuf Pathan's batting abilities over his bowling all-rounder skills.
