London, June 9
India’s veteran wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Sunday decided to obey the ICC diktat as he removed the dagger insignia from his green keeping gloves during the World Cup game against Australia.
Dhoni wore the gloves with military dagger insignia against South Africa, which evoked mixed reactions, and the ICC requested the BCCI to ask the former skipper to get it removed as it amounts violation of sporting equipment regulations.
Dhoni wore green coloured gloves on Sunday but both the SG logo (manufacturers) and the dagger insignia were removed, saving BCCI from an embarrassing situation.
It couldn’t be verified if it was same gloves or a new pair.
However, with people cutting across sections airing their views, the matter got complicated and it was learnt that the Indian team was behind their senior-most player on the issue.
